About Me

Hi, I'm a biologist, currently doing my PhD in Brazil. I love plants and their pharmaceutical potential. I am from Colombia, I like to dance, chat, ride a bike, camp, share a beer with a good company and listen to life stories. I love to eat and learn different dishes. I have traveled little not because I did not want to, but because I have stayed loving the places where I have arrived and specifically because of the work I do. Half Colombian, half Brazilian at heart.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have used the platform a little but my house has always been a place where I can receive and help people who arrive in a new place, helping them to become familiar with the region. I am a migrant, I have lived in São Paulo for 7 years and I understand that migrating is not easy. Now it's my turn, I'm in Australia doing part of my research and traveling as a foreinger. Open to new experiences, to share life stories, music and culture.
