About Me

I am someone interested in meeting people from other nationalities and cultures. I am interested in music, literature, art, good food, travel and other people's life stories. I live with two cats and I usually love spending time at home reading, cooking or playing the piano.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am interested in sharing travel and life experiences with travelers from all over the world. I also like to share what I know in depth about the culture of my country.

I seek to help travelers who visit Colombia get a more real perception of this country, because in that way I try to change the negative perception that the media have developed in my country.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travel across the Amazon River aboard a ship for two weeks and travel 90% of the South American territory on a backpacking trip.

To live and share with many indigenous communities throughout Colombia and in other countries such as Panama, Ecuador and Brazil, learning from their ancestral customs and their magical and spiritual practices.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to teach about local cultures and customs, especially in the southern region of Colombia and in the areas where the indigenous peoples of the department of Cauca live.

I am interested in learning about the cultures of the places where visitors come from, their typical foods and their customs.

I like to share and make known the places that I frequent and the people I consider can offer a lot of knowledge and attention to visitors from other countries and cultures.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A place to rest, typical food, walks in the city and nearby places, visits to places of cutural interest, wine, music and good conversation.
