CURRENT MISSION

August 2018 - Now I'm at home, preparing for the next trip.

********************************

- 2017 -

Hitch-hiking through Europe and Asia, documenting the trip making writings, videos and photographs, stop to analyze the customs and the daily life of the population of the countries where I go.

ABOUT ME

I'm not looking for sex here.

I am registered in Couchsurfing since 2012, I used it once in Colombia and once in Costa Rica, I usually stay in hostels.

Now I start to travel (slow) and I want to travel some countries in Europe and Asia, but I am not a tourist, I like to travel cheap, I spend very little money and the tourist places are not for me, I think they do not let me see what I'm looking for in a country, I prefer to know the places frequented by local people, such as markets. I like to get close to the population (upper and lower classes), see how they live, how they work. I want to approach them through photography.

Immerse myself in every country I go to, it's the best way to know it, to know its insides and not just the superficial and I want to create links between the photograph & inhabitants of the countries, including you!

I love photography and this was one of the excuses to make the decision to make a tremendous trip.

I am curious, I like to analyze the environment and always ask the why of things.
Sometimes I need my space, to be alone to stop thinking, search information, writing, editing photographs, reading (do not be surprised if I spend hours on the computer).

I do not need to have a daily busy schedule, walk for a few hours and then talk, drinking coffee is enough, making so many plans for one day will make us end up tired at the end of the day and just want to go to bed.

ON THE OTHER HAND:

The sound of the wind, the waterfall, the leafs of the trees give me tranquility. Sometimes I like absolute silence. I appreciate the greatness of nature, its perfection, for this I like to walk in the mountains, lakes and forests. This makes me interested in finding beautiful landscapes to photograph. I love this kind of photography!

I enjoy hiking a lot, as well as doing sports, run, lift weights, put my body to the maximum.

Also, I enjoy intelligent, creative and curious people, from whom I can learn positive things, I really enjoy talking to these people.

I like to buy food and prepare it at home (really I like to cook), I like to eat healthy and I love the coffee - so don't be surprised if I drink more than 4 cups in a day -

Also, I am learning to speak English, I do not do well but I really want to learn. Excuse me if at some point we can not speak fluently.

.... And although I'm not very good, I like to play billiards, ping pong, volleyball, basketball :-D

Things I don't like: snoring, unfulfilled people, that people aren't solidarity with animals.

PHILOSOPHY

• Be free.
• Respect to others.
• Helping homeless animals.
• Take care of the Earth.
• To be clean.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

What I Can Share with Hosts

• If I bring Colombian coffee, I'll prepare one for you ☕

• I can cook for all, maybe I can not cook typical food of Colombia, because in your country I do not find the same ingredients. For example, Once upon I tried to make Colombian arepas and they were like bread because the flour was not the same as in Colombia :-(
However, we can prepare something delicious with the ingredients that we find in the local market.

• Let's do sport together.

• I want you to be part of my portraits project, so I'll ask you for a few pictures and then I'll share it to you. Available and with good quality so you can print it.
