About Me

Hola, I'm Daniel from Colombia, I'm currently living in Tokyo Japan.

I'm new in the city so I'm interested in meeting new friends especially Japanese to hangout, go for coffee, beers or dinner.

I'm interested in outdoor activities, hiking, swimming, cycling, ultimate frisbee.

I'm into alternative rock and indie music.

I've lived in Colombia, Philippines, USA, Vietnam and now Japan.

I'm also trying to learn more about street photography, could you give me some tips?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like living and traveling abroad, most of my travels have been to Asian countries but I'm looking forward to travel in other parts of the world, especially Europe and South America, make new friends
