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

Por qué estoy en 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.

Intereses

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.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Shot and edited documentaries in Cuba for six months!

Enseña, aprende, comparte

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!

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

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.
