*** in the next time I won't be hosting couchsurfers - I need a little break to focus on my thesis :) ***

I was born in Cali, Colombia, but I've been living in Germany for 17 years.
I'm studying English and Spanish to become a teacher and my part-time job is making dreads :D

- always open-minded and with a smile on my face
- BJJ-lover and fightgirl ;)
- sometimes a little bookworm: if you give me a good book I can forget about the world and read for hours
- I play the guitar and sing - not professionally, but for fun, e.g. at karaoke nights or under the shower
- series junkie :D

Last trip: 6 weeks of travelling through Ireland, England, France, Spain and Italy. I saw stunning places (e.g. the Cliffs of Moher or Cinque Terre), but I also got to know so many amazing people through couchsurfing (e.g. a Spanish and a Danish guy and a polish girl with whom I went to the beach in Torremolinos, then had some cocktails and later we ended up playing the guitar and singing until late in the night :D or also an Austrian girl I met in Manarola: We got friends and met again in Pisa, visited Florence together and got to know a super cool guy who showed us the city, but also spontaneously hosted and took us hiking to a beautiful forest with waterfalls on the next day...) Such a crazy and amazing adventure :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think Couchsurfing is a great idea, especially if you want to get to know new people and their city and their culture :) I'd love to meet friendly people and show them Regensburg with its beautiful, old city centre and cool parks next to the river. Of course we can also go out, have some drinks and dance... or make music or sports together :)

Btw, couchsurfers are the most spontaneous people ever, every hangout I've joined was another great, funny and crazy moment in my life, thanks to everyone I have met so far :D

Music, Movies, and Books

#Music
I listen to almost everything: Reggae, pop, rock, indie, etc. (I don't like metal that much if it's just screaming)
favourite band at the moment: Panic! At the disco. If you're planning to go to their concert in offenbach, tell me, then we can meet there :D

#Series/ Movies
Game of Thrones, Altered Carbon, Travellers, Stranger Things, Wanted, Prison Break, the OA, Battlestar Galactica ... I love series :D
Last movies I liked a lot in the cinema:
- Three Billboards outside of Ebbing, Missouri
- Bohemian Rhapsody

You can always suggest to watch a movie if you want to chill a bit. Last time for example I watched Leon the professional with a couchsurfer in Genova :)

#Books
Fantasy, SciFy, Distopian novels, ...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

#Share
- Sharing time with people you don't know is super funny and interesting, so I love to join CS hangouts when I'm travelling
- I like to get to know new recipes and cook together with friends :)
- I love getting to know new bands/ songs - we can listen to music and show each other our favourite bands, maybe we can discover something new :) ... or even make music together!
- We can share and talk about travel experiences (I did for example the Camino de Santiago :) )

#Teach
I can show you a bit Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or the basics of playing the guitar ^^
We can cook typical Colombian food :D

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can...
chill out at home or at a lake/ river
go out at night for partying
go for a walk in my beautiful city
go together to a karaoke bar on a Monday evening - if you want to :D
make sports together (maybe I can show you Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or we can go swimming) :)
