About Me

Hello! I guess the most important thing about me is that I love traveling. There is not a better way to get to know other people and learn about their cultures. I consider myself as an open minded person, as I study business but have interests in different areas ok knowledge such as anthropology, politics, law and philosophy.

I believe that sharing is the key to live in a better and more fair world, so I'm always interested in shared economy models.

I hope to have good conversations with my hosts/travelers, share my experiences and have some beers, of course!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started using Coushsurfing this year and I'm not planning to stop! It's incredible how different a place feels when you're at someone's place and not in an hotel, you definitely get to know better the costumes and way of life of the locals. It is also a great opportunity to practice languages and share whatever you like with people.

Looking forward to host people in Bogotá as soon as I'm back :)

Interests

Sports (specially soccer), music, movies, dancing, parties, yoga. I love to have interesting conversations, subjects like politics or philosophy are of my interest. As I can't imagine living a life without humor, jokes and funny stories are more than welcome!
