CURRENT MISSION

Keep dreaming and love yourself.

ABOUT ME

I'm an only child, from a small city in Colombia (Armenia, Quindio), but I lived in Medellin for 6 years while I was studying, I studied business administration and I also have a marketing emphasys.

I have worked in Business inteligence and digital marketing in two companies, one from france and one from Colombia.

I have 2 passions in life, marketing, and social work, that's why I started helping in a social organization in Colombia with other young people, to improve the quality of education in my country and we achieved great things.

After that I just decided to start doing things for myself, to do what I love, help other people, and and that's why I'm doing a social volunteering now in Brazil.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a very spiritual person, believe in god, but I also believe that you can change the way you are living and you can choose to be happy.

A couple of years ago I started thinking that everything in life happens for a reason, and everything that happens to me it's just part of my personal growth, sometimes the times are hard but sometimes life is just perfect, so I just have to learn to go with the flow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have this account a couple of years ago, and I signed up initially because I was part of an international organization that works with young people, so I loved being around foreigners, practice english, etc, now i'm just in an unknown country trying to know places and people, so I think it's a great way to do that.

Interests

I think I´m a cool and easy going guy who loves traveling and meeting new people, going to the movies, taking pictures is my passion, helping people is my mission in life, but I also like to go grab some beers sometimes.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music,

I really like pop music, rock en español, reggaeton, salsa, and merengue, all the latin rythms are great, now that i'm here in Brasil i like a lot of music, including MPB, forró, funk, bossa nova, etc.

Books

I loved "los 4 acuerdos" it's a book about tolteca wisdom and how to start living without thinking or assuming a lot of stuff, now i'm reading a book from Isabel Allende called "La suma de los dias" and Faça o amor não faça jogo From Ique Carvalho.

Movies

I love movies so it's hard for me: "Her" , "Livre" , "about time", "the normal heart", "relatos salvajes"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well I think, that living alone since I was 18 taught me a lot about life, about being responsible and in charge of my own life, but I think that what I really admire is the change that a group of young people can do, so working with this organization to improve the education in Colombia and being part of all this movement was amazing for me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know something about photography, and marketing, also I can teach you some spanish.
