I'm Paola, I lived most of my life in Colombia, I had always wanted to discover the world. I'm currently studying in Paris, I'm a Master student at the Sorbonne University. I want to take this opportunity to discover Europe first and then, the world! I love to meet and talk with people from other countries, other culture, other languages, other ways of thinking.

I live in the Cité Universitaire of Paris now, but before I shared a flat with a Korean girl and a French-Moroccan girl. They are super nice, and they have taught me many things about their cultures, thanks to Hyojou I love kimchi and Kaki fruit and thanks to Khadija I've learned a little about Islam and the Arab culture . This is a beautiful adventure to me. Discover cultures through people, it's something that really has no price, for that reason I want to continue meeting and discovering human beings through CouchSourfing.

I like to play futbol, hiking and trekking and then, a wine cold or hot it depends on the season. Wine is always a good answer! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me CouchSurfing is a unique opportunity to meet people who perhaps have a similar way of looking at the world, people who understand that life is built thanks to these small moments of cultural exchange.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most beautiful experiences in my life was doing the way of Saint James (Camino de Santiago de Compostela). On the way, I fell in love with life in such a deeply meaningful way. Like, my body, my legs rock! and it didn't even get any blisters, so yeah I'm fucking awesome.
