About Me

For hosting read my home section...
Completely!
We are leaving Boston on August 28th. Unfortunately, we will not be able to host anymore. Thank you Boston !!
I am currently living in Amsterdam. In my free time I can show you around, together we can discover the city.

CURRENT MISSION

Mission for the world: Be Happy! My mission: Help and serve!

ABOUT ME

I am a dreamer, happy, respectful. Always active, always want to learn and visit
new places.
I am a financial engineer and volunteer by passion. I have traveled through Israel and Egypt after volunteering in a socialist-democratic Kibbutz. Then I traveled throughout Europe with my mom (using Couchsurfing and discovering how the people can be so kind and helpful). After, I traveled with my girlfriend around the States, finishing our adventure going around my beloved Colombia.
I am passionate for teaching and learning, this something that has allowed to work as a volunteer with different organizations. Now I will be heading to Perú on April 1st.
I am really energetic, I like to do exercise almost every day, so maybe we can go together and do some pull-ups...
I love peanut butter and all kind of nuts. I like healthy food and try new dishes. It's difficult to find something that I cannot eat. I like to learn at least 5 new things each week.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't limit yourself with your past, only focus your thoughts in your present. Learn from your past to build a better future!
Plan your life, live your plan, but every plan can change!!!
The sky is not the limit, never let anyone limit yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here to learn new languages, to share a bit of my experience and my culture, and to give some tours of my city (of course when I am in Medellin or Amsterdam haha). Besides, I have traveled through Europe, the middle East, the United States and Colombia having the privilege to meet amazing people (from CS and out of CS). During all this time I have realized that Couchsurfing is the leverage to break some barriers with the locals, it also allows you to understand the culture and merge with the people. I am here to share, serve, help and discover!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kind of music, but I do not like to listen the same genre all day.
For example, I can go from Clasic to Metal, from Reggaeton to Vallenato, or from Jazz to IndieRock.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In one weekend I traveled through Israel just hitchhiking and receiving help and food from the Israelis, such an amazing people. I'll be grateful my whole life. They helped me when I was in a tough situation.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Spanish or Italian or some basics in financial markets or personal finance.
I can make a nutrition plan for you. I have helped people to be healthier and lose 10 kg in fat.
