I´m a really enthusiastic guy with a lot of dreams and challenges to face, I was born and raised in Barranquilla - Colombia, by the Caribbean coast, so I love the vitamin sea :)
I enjoy good music, riding my bicycle, nicely played football, tasty food, real people and deep conversations...
I am really easy going person, low maintenance, I try thinking and caring about the environment as much as I can, big believer of RRR (Reduce, reuse & recycle), I would like the future generations to have a decent place where to live.
*** I don't care about people's believes, sexual orientation, nationality, race or skin color; if you are a nice human being, that is all that matters for me! ***

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really enjoy meeting new people and different cultures.
I think meeting locals while traveling gives a better idea of the society where they live, I like asking a lot of questions like the socio-political environment, the economical point of view, the education and health system, and of course the big topics like food, music and culture.
Please tell me in the request that "mi casa es tu casa".
If I need help while I´m traveling, I really would appreciate if someone can extend me a hand and hopefully I will be able to return the favor in the future.

Interests

I like questioning what I want to do and where I want to go, I have found a few nice quotes that inspire me in this journey called life.

"You can do anything, but not everything" - David Allen
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world" - Gandhi
"I’d rather live with a good question than a bad answer" - Aryeh Frimer

Teach, Learn, Share

I know how to solve the Rubik's cube and Sudoku, and I can teach you the steps... Also I can teach you how to play chess.
And of course, I could teach you/help you to learn or improve your Spanish or English.
If I have the right ingredients, I can cook Colombian dishes (You will love them :D )
I can share a few good stories that have happened to me and I would love to learn some local cuisine recipes and some taste of the local music.

Good experiences, histories, company and some drinks.

A really nice conversation!
