My name is Daniel Valencia, from Colombia, I'm 26 years old. Living in Bogotá. Old soul with new energy. I do enjoy a good conversation, not prejudices, taboos or any kind of exclusion are allowed in my life.

To share, collaborate and be solidary are three thing I definitively believe in and support.

I really enjoy Balkan music, techno, flamenco, bossa nova, zamba and colombian folk music. Also, I use part of my time to discover new artist and music.

Love to learn languages, visiting new places, trying new and good food and sometime partying a little too!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling is always fun and meeting people from (or in) the places you visit is always an enrichment experience. Either if I'm traveling or hosting people, to me is important to share experiences, exchange music, cook or try new food and get to know about other cultures.

Beeing honest, meeting and sharing with travelers from other parts of the world makes me feel like I'm traveling my self even if I'm at home.

Interests

Travelling and geting to know people and cultures is one on my favorite things on Earth. Cultural exchange is a very important part of my life, just as music, literature, cinema and arts in general. I am musician.

I'm journalist and do research and write about conflict and culture.

Gastronomie lover I'd say I am :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I've recently done is being in the colombian pacific ocean and seeing an impressive amount of gigantic whales right beside me! Beautiful!

Visiting conflict areas in Colombia and discovering the amazing landscapes that conflict stole from us. And knowing amazing people who, despite the difficulties, resist, live happy and fight every day for a better world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share with you a little concert of classical and spanish guitar.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll gladly share my culture and learn from yours; a good conversation always, a tiny guitar concert (if you have a guitar) and cook some colombian or international food with you! (best gazpacho ever!)
