I'm a documentary filmmaker born in Colombia and raised in Miami/NYC. Currently based out of Bogota.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Recently finished up a double major in Film Production & Politics and, frankly, I have the travel bug. Having spent the last 4 years in New York, I need a change of pace, a change of scenery.

Interests

My interests are eclectic and multifaceted! My first love was the cinema, from which I ran onwards towards music (I played the violin for many years), fine arts, and multimedia/video-art. I also love a good conversation on issues of social concern/politics.

Teach, Learn, Share

My interests in photography and filmmaking have allowed me to hone my teaching skills, I consider myself a communicator. I'm a voracious learner and am willing to listen to/learn just about about anything!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Part of the joys of traveling is being able to share and gain in any way possible. I feel like my interests and experiences will allow me to transmit a different worldview, taken from someone who's lived internationally all of his life. I am calm and organized and try to bring a good energy with me wherever I go.
