CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life, be happy, meet new people, travel, be compassionate, a peacemaker, raise and spread awareness !!

Try to make the world a better place through my actions, thoughts, and words.

“In the end these things matter most: How well did you love? How fully did you live? How deeply did you let go?”

Change is the only thing that doesn't change!!!

ABOUT ME

I'm a happy person, open minded, kind, respectful, joyful,honest, transparent, reliable and a very good friend. I'm always up to discover the world, meet people from different cultures with different stances, I think that's an enriching experience that makes you a better person and more tolerant.

There are as many realities, as people in the world. I love to spend time with my family and friends, talking, having a beer, a cup of tea, coffee, a glass of wine, or a great dinner.

I love good food and like cooking for me and others, it's a great therapy.
I also love swimming, cycling, hiking and reading. I'm an active person, so like to keep moving.

Be in contact with nature is very important for me, keeps me alive, active and makes me remember the wonders of the world.
Nature is the finest expression of freedom.

Finally, I'm a political scientist, have two masters degrees in development studies and political studies and international relations from Uppsala University, in Sweden.

I lived for a year in London learning English, one year in Montpellier learning French, almost 4 years in Sweden studying and trying to understand swedes, and 7months in New York for the master internship at the UN. But those are just degrees on papers. The real university is daring to make your dreams come true.

Nowadays, I work for the Ministry of agriculture in Colombia 🇨🇴.

I LIKE LEARNING, not university learning, but life learning !!! It's a lifetime goal.

PHILOSOPHY

Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.

Work like you don't need the money;
dance like no one is watching;
sing like no one is listening;
love like you've never been hurt;
and live life every day as if it were your last. (Old Irish proverb)

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participated in CS in december 2010, because I heard several friends who've had always wonderful experiences and I thought myself why not, it could be a good chance to travel, meet local people, make friends and have a better experience of the places I would like to visit. Also offer my place to people like me looking for a couch and a good time.
