About Me

Born and raised in Bucaramanga-Colombia. at the age of 18-years I used to play in a Hardcore band called 'Mindless', having some sort of small success, we had the opportunity to play in different cities, and share our talent with other people. while playing the guitar in Mindless I also studied Market Engineering for 5 years. Soon after finishing my studies and having my degree, I decided to move to the states to make a change in my life, meet new people, and improve my english skills.

Im a big lover of Graphics, colors, textures, Images and sounds. My main goal in my life is to make my passion and hobbies my way of life.

Photography was always a big part of my life, my dad introduced to me in this world since I was a kid. Now I cannot stop fighting for this passion.

I'm currently studying Graphic Design and Photography at Harold Washington College. I'm also working as a freelancer photographer in Chicago. During my first year (2014) I had about 12 events, and this year I expect to work the double. on the other hand, life in the states is quite interesting due to the high exposure to other cultures. Chicago is a melting pot, is the city where all races, languages, and religions assemble.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to be able to visit cities and meet people there, as well as saving some money while sleeping in someone's place.
