About Me

ABOUT ME

Respectful, easy going guy. I try to always enjoy the simple pleasures of the life: eating, sleeping, dancing, reading, chatting, watching films, etc. Always keen to know new people, cultures and places.
After several years abroad, I’m back in my beloved Colombia living between Medellin and Bogotá.

Soy tranquilo, amable, y disfruto de las cosas simples de la vida: comer, bailar, conversar, el cine, la literatura. Me encanta conocer gente, explorar lugares, costumbres.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Giving a good time to all visitors, and traveling as much as I can.
Practicing languages, sharing experiences and a good laugh.

Disfruto mucho ser anfitrión y esa es mi principal contribución to CS, aunque de cuando en cuando lo utilizo para viajar.
Cuando el CS se anima podemos practicar idiomas, conversar y compartir ideas y gustos.

Interests

Films, literature, food, biology, traveling. Most recently I'm interested in hiking and sports.

Cine, literatura, comida, biologia, viajar. Recientemente mas interesado en salir a caminar y deportes en general.

Music, Movies, and Books

Tricky, I'll try to summarise a bit. Books: Kundera, Saramago, Isabel Allende, Gabriel García Márquez, Kafka, Stephen King (!). Favourite book: The Grapes of Wrath by Steinbeck;
Music: Rock in general (Favorite: 90's), salsa, classic, world music;
Films: it must be a very bad film so I can't enjoy it. I prefer drama and horror films.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good conversation for sure! Also, I can invite for a good meal or drinks.
