About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy Miami and meet people there!

ABOUT ME

I am a person who likes to know new places but more importantly , new people. This web site gives you lot of freedom in the way you do couchsurfing, even if you are a very busy person or if you have plenty o time to spend with fellow couchsurfers.

I enjoy interesting conversations while having a coffee or a drink, but also would enjoy going to dance as well as visiting museums and getting involved with cultural activities, especially related with music.

PHILOSOPHY

No matter how hard life can be, don´t give up and try to do your best to be happy, finally you will succeed!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed in San Francisco, CA and the awsome city of Washington DC. I have also hosted 20 people, and is a pleasure to advise them on how to explore my city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Now I've surfed San Francisco Bay Area as my first experience in CS and it was amazing how nice the people are. Also meeting people from CS in Bogotá has been cool. People visiting my house have put a lot of fun in my life. They make me examine life from different perspectives.

Interests

General culture, and a speciall interest on helping people practice their spanish and to practice my english as well. I have practiced vegeterianism sometimes,( Not always possible ) because I don´t like the fact another animals are killed so we can eat their meat, and some day I want to receive a response on why it has to be that way, for me it´s cruel and I have problems in accepting this issue. Any way I respect the fact most couchsurfers eat meat.

Music, Movies, and Books

True Lies, Inglorious Basterds, Slumdog Millonaire and most of the movies with Jim Carrey. I am a fan of Robin Williams and as for books I am currently reading Stephen Wolf. Music is the most enjoyable thing in life!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have overcome many difficulties in life and have not suffered any damage to my soul.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach how to dance salsa and demonstrate a big number of Colombian rythms, unknown outside of Colombia, like vallenato, pasillo,and guavinas. I recommned you listen to youtube and check out the pasillo VINOTINTO,it's an awsome melody. I consider myself a person who likes a lot to teach spanish, and I would be happy to teach you Spanish. If you are interested, I can also prepare some Colombian food.

Bolivia, Ecuador, France, Netherlands, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, United States
