ABOUT ME

Hola a todos!, Hello everyone! Hallo an Alle!, Salut à tous!, Всем привет!, Olá a todos!

I'm Andrés, born and raised in Colombia. I enjoy my life and like to live it in a relaxed, de-complicated way: going out, listening to good music, reading, going for a walk, having a good time with friends, having long and interesting conversations, and of course travelling!!
I consider myself to be an open minded person, that's why I like to know different sides and points of view about life and to communicate with people, to know and understand different ideas, experiences, ways of life, and of course, I love to learn about other countries, cultures and languages.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I like to learn about different countries and cultures and communicate with people I'm on Couchsurfing. This is one of the best ways to get to know interesting, intelligent and cool people who are willing to exchange experiences, knowledge and share their time with travellers, so that they get to know and experience a country from a local perspective.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To travel and go to a lot of countries that I always dreamed of visiting, to meet the kind of people I always dreamed of meeting and to have some amazing experiences that I always dreamed of living, after years of thinking that these were very difficult things to do. There are no words that can describe the feeling of overcoming your own obstacles and fulfilling your dreams
