ABOUT ME

Loooveeeee to take pictures and paint. I travel with a set of water colors and at least two deferente instant cameras (Polaroid and Fuji)

Right now planning my first Europe trip on July. Mainly France, Spain, Lux and a little bit of Germany. I’m doing this with my best friend Evelyn. She’s from my hometown (Popayán, Colombia) but she’s been living in France for a while. So, we will be exploring the city and sketching around with me worrying to much for my low level of French.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

The cultural exchange fascinated me, get to know new people, get some tips on where to go on future trips and how to do it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far so good. I had met some nice people, I had rediscovered my city with them, cuz some time you don't appreciate what you have till someone else point it out.

Interessi

Musica, film e libri

About music, I like from everything from Dean Martin to Rosalia. Always looking for new suggestions.

Books: I love a little bit of everything too, Jane Austin, the Brontë sisters, Virginia Woolf, Garcia Marquez, Isabel Allende, some non fiction about science and space. But my favorite genre in books and movies is sci-fi, definitely. I loveee Ray Bradbury, Phill. K. Dick, H.G. Wells. Frank Herbert.
So you could imagine when my excitement when I discovered Denis Villeneuve one of my favorite directors was going to direct the adaptation of Dune. Can't wait for the second part in November 2023.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

Two of my favorite moments have been in the desert. The first one was in La Guajira, Colombia, where at night the sky seem to be closer to the ground, you can almost reach the stars.

The second one was in Grand Canyon west, U.S. I was speechless by the great work of nature. And after that we spend the night there (in a cabin), listening to the ghost stories of the cowboys, in front of a campfire.

Insegna, impara, condividi

I'll be glad to help you with any question you have about Spanish, my city, Colombia, cats or whatever.

I can teach you some watercolor painting. You’ll be an expert in no time.

Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa

Some Colombian Spanish lessons and some standard cooking wish I've been enjoying a lot the last year, but don't expect any Colombian plates, I'm very curious about international food, so I been trying some Vietnamese, German and dare I say Italian and French cooking that I learn from CS guest from France. So I learned from the best.
I'm not a vegetarian (Evelyn is) but I also enjoy trying vegetarian recipes because I find them practical.

I can also introduce you to watercolor painting. I'm always traveling with a little set to paint on my trips.

We enjoy talking very much, about books, movies, series, and geopolitics some time. So if you're not a talker, don't worry, we will do most of it. XD
