About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission right now is trying to expand my academic horizon! But most of all, just trying to get out of my comfort zone and gaining some independence. I'm planning on going to Spain soon to study, so that's the first step in that direction :)

ABOUT ME

I'm a law student currently living in Spain, but I'm originally from Colombia. I love music with passion, although I can not play any instrument. I love visiting new places, as I'm sure everyone here does. I'm a little bit of a bookworn, a huge beer lover and a clumsy dancer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't had much of it because I'm just starting, but I'm really looking forward to it!

Interests

As I've said, music really grabs my attention. I love rock and roll with all my heart, and not a day goes by without me listening to music. I love pasta, sitcoms (huge FRIENDS fan!), movies (like, a lot!) and talking to people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In no particular order:
- When I did bungee jumping. Such a rush! I'm a little bit of a chicken for extreme activities, but jumping off a bridge has been one of the most exciting things I've ever done in my life.
- Visiting Ronda. I don't think there are many things more beautiful than Ronda. This little town in Andalusia, Spain, is a wonderful place. Such a magical appearance! No wonder Hemingway or Rilke were so inspired by Ronda
- Eating cheesecake for the first time. I know this is a silly thing, but when I first tasted cheesecake in New York I got obsessed with it! I love food a lot which is why this was an important thing for me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think I have so much to learn and very little to teach. I could talk to you about music, pop culture, movies, maybe a little bit of history. I could also teach about Colombia. Learning? Everything! Well, maybe ALMOST everything. Whatever people can teach me I'm eager to learn. Especially history and culture.
