I’m passionate about life and all the great things it offers. I love diversity, people, and stepping out of my comfort zone. I enjoy learning about new people, places, and foods!

I’m all about making a positive impact, especially when it comes to supporting underserved communities. My work focuses on improving healthcare access and quality for groups like immigrants, people with disabilities, and low-income individuals. I’m also deeply committed to animal welfare, and I’m part of a team dedicated to rescuing stray dogs and cats. We help them recover physically and emotionally, and work hard to find them loving homes. It’s one of the most rewarding aspects of my life.

At the same time, I’m a graduate in Culinary Arts, with a specialization in natural and nourishing foods. I truly believe that food has the power to connect people and cultures, and I love exploring how it can bring us all together.

Right now, I’m helping health professionals in Colombia who want to study abroad, guiding them through the process of finding the right programs in countries where they can boost their qualifications. My goal is to help them grow in their careers and gain the skills they need to thrive on the global stage.

Whether through my work in health, my passion for cooking, or my dedication to helping animals, I’m always looking for ways to make the world a better, more inclusive place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe Couchsurfing is an amazing way to connect with people from all over the world and build meaningful relationships. It’s not just about finding a place to stay—it’s about exchanging stories, learning from each other, and offering help when you can. I love how it fosters cultural exchange and creates opportunities to help others while also being helped. It just feels like the perfect way to travel and share experiences with like-minded people. Its just perfect.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like pretty much everything when it comes to music. I love sci-fi. And in books, I love Latin American authors, and also Joyce, Kafka, Varlaine, Rimbaud, Virginia Wolf and Sylvia Platt (as weird as it might seem...).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Reinventing myself twice... and hopefully a few more times along the way. Every time, I’ve embraced new challenges, whether it was shifting careers, moving to new places, or learning new skills. Each reinvention has taught me something valuable, and I’m excited for the next chapter of change and growth.

Teach, Learn, Share

The meaning of life is to give life meaning (Victor Frankl). And... follow your dreams ALWAYS.
