Hi :) I am a Colombian illustrator, animator and animal lover who has been living between Colombia, Canada and México, working for children animated TV shows and currently directing my own animated documentary project (which is giving me the chance to explore the globe looking for new stories, teaching animation in some Colombian Universities and taking theather acting classes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am starting to gain some momentum (with my project and my life in general) and probably I will be travelling around South America soon; said that, Couchsurfing seems like the perfect tool to improve my experience to the max.

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

Joy Division, TV on the Radio, Cuatro Venezolano, Afrobeats, Cumbias; Tekkonkinkreet, Paprika, Leon The Professional, Historias Mínimas, Rick and Morty; La invención de Morell (Bioy Casale), La ciudad y los perros (Vargas Llosa), Tres Tristes Tigres (Cabrera)... and much more... but I guess this is good enough to describe my taste (I hope).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, I worked for Rick and Morty as Lead Animator. Also I have my own Animated TV-show (will be aired around June this year).

Teach animation and illustration, learn theather and languages, share cooking ideas and playing cuatro llanero.
