CURRENT MISSION

Learning about the world and its cultures, traveling, letting people know about Colombia, Latinamerica, and our culture

ABOUT ME

Very happy, always smiling, always learning, never bored. Culture-lover, history lover... I love to understand how the things got to be in the place where I am... I believe life is about experiences and moments (in time and space) more than about possesing or accumulating.. this means I enjoy every experience, real life learning, and meeting new people. I really like to use time at 100%, hate wasting time!!..

PHILOSOPHY

Every moment is universally unique in time and space. There is only one life, and its short, so time must be used at most. Share with people you love, and know where you are standing. The most important thing... always fight for your happiness, whatever it is.. Being complicated, and making problems out of everything doesnt make sense.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I know many people would like to go to South America and know about Latin culture, but many are afraid because Colombia (and other countries) are supposed to be dangerous... Ill show you its a total lie. If you would like to go to Colombia, I will show you what a great country we live in, believe me you will enjoy!! and have a different perspective of the world... You will not want to leave!!!
