About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn

ABOUT ME

Here I am, young and restless... I love to travel and to meet new people. I love to laugh and I usually have fun no matter where I go. Of course I have a serious side (that very few know) when I am working at school, I love to study and would love to stay at the academia forever. I dream of becoming a professor and to be able to travel to different universities around the world disseminating what I know.
I am absolutely in love with my country and my heritage, and I don't hesitate to make anybody excited about Colombia.
If you want to know more about me, just ask! :)

PHILOSOPHY

"I learn only to be contented" (inscription at Tsukubai at Ryoanji temple in Kyoto)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I started with the Hospitality Club and now I am joining the Couch Surfing community because I realized that the world is such a big place that if we are not there for each other we'll be doomed.
Couch surfing is way more than just finding an inexpensive place to stay, but it refers to meeting people from everywhere around the world and to learn from there. I have met wonderful people this way and I cannot wait to do it again :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Wow... what a question! I don't know, I have couch surfed four times now and I had never have a bad experience. Every host that I have had, has been amazing! I would never forget the wonderful couple that received my friend, my brother and I in Okinawa or Masashi from Kyoto who not only hosted us but gave us a tour around the city as well as share his food with us.
Every host has been amazing in their own way :)

I love meeting new people, movies, books, hiking, traveling (of course)... and everything related to each of it.
