Overview
About Me
I grew up un Colombia (for the most part), but I have been moving around for the last years of my life (to Curacao and to The Hague). I graduated from highschool (IB) about a year ago and I have been working the last few months as a barista to save up for a backpacking trip through Europe before going to England later this year to study Biology.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm backpacking through Europe and I'm taking this to be a growing experience so I really like the idea of staying with locals and learning more about where I stay than just sightseeing.
Interests
I really like biology as an occupation but as hobbies I like making music as much as listening to music, reading (sadly not so much writing), I really like sitting by a fire (even in the summer) and having long talks about pretty much anything interesting or controversial.

Music, Movies, and Books
Not sure about favorites but in terms of music I like folk a lot. Orson Scott Card's books are great (although not the guy haha). Mr. Noboy is one of my favorite movies.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Nothing as amazing as some of the profiles I've seen haha hoping to have changed this by the end of this trip :D
I've jumped off some cliffs but nothing too high, went scubadiving with an underwater propeller once (that was pretty fun :) ), nightdiving was also pretty amazing.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach a bit of Spanish, English or Dutch. I can also teach a bit of piano and guitar (very beginner in guitar tho so just basics hahaha).
I like to hear about peoples' ideologies and views on ethics on science and share mine as well.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I love having long conversations about science, ethics, culture etc. Anything interesting. Although I'm not great when it comes to cooking traditional Colombian food I do enjoy cooking whatever I can manage :D
Always willing to help anyone out with their Spanish/English/Dutch
