About Me

I was born in Bogota Colombia, currently living in ColoradoSprings. I am clean, honest, positive, love cooking, exercising and music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've traveled before and stayed with couple of people through couchsurf many years ago in Argentina and Brazil during carnival and later on for a semester of school. Basically I had such a great experience and met so many wonderful and welcoming people. I've always wanted to do this but never had my own place and now that's different.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Saved my neighbor's life. She was being attacked by a full size pitbul which had ripped all her clothes off and she was crying for help a lot of neighbors watching scared from the distance. I grabbed the first thing I came across, a plastic broom, ran to her and started swinging at the dog until he let go off her arm. The dog came after me couple of times, I managed to keep him away by swinging at him but the dog kept coming back to her despite of how many times I told her to run to the house she would not move. She couldn't stand up until my other neighbor ran to her and helped her. In that instance the dog bite my other neighbor in the arm as well. They ran to her house and closed the door leaving me outside alone but another neighbor drove his truck across the yard to and distracted the pitbul so I had enough time to run inside the house where I could see the girl in detail and she was pretty bad injured and in shocked. Called 911
