Hi! Jose here.

I’m a nice, curious and outgoing Colombian living in Geneva since march 23’. I love traveling, meeting new people and experiencing new things. I used to stay in hostels to make new friends and that’s the reason why I switched to CS.

My true passions are history, music and culture and that’s what I’m looking for anywhere I travel. I studied international relations so I’m always up for a nice talk on global politics (and on local politics too, it’s always nice to learn people’s perspective on their own government).

I love talking and getting to know my hosts/surfers, but if you prefer to keep it quiet it’s ok for me too. I don’t actually plan my trips, so if you have any advice on what to visit, I would love to hear it, and even better if you could join me to go to one of your suggestions.

Queerly queer 🏳️‍🌈

You can check some of my social media to check I’m not a psycho.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I tried CS for the first time because I truly believe the best part of traveling is meeting new people, and getting involved in the city from the perspective of locals.
