About Me

Colombian expat settled down in Amsterdam after years of studying abroad in different countries.

I am a biomedical engineer and currently work as a stem cell researcher.

I am fully vaccinated (plus booster) and really excited to start traveling again after 2 years of being locked in.

Don’t have too much experience with Couchsurfing but would like to start being a part of this community.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best way to get to know a place is hanging out with the local people. The true heart of a city is not on a tourist guide, is in the people who live there.

Interests

Meeting new people and learning about different ways of living. Exchanging knowledge is a facinating thing, every day you learn something unexpected from somebody different

I am really into FOOD, if you have a good recommendation for places to eat I will love you forever. I also like to stay active, exercise and fitness are a constant part of my daily life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach cooking, i've always been pationed about the kitchen and making dinner for others is something that gives me great pleassure.

I would like to learn all the tricks and tips of every city I go to, I want to know their culture, their gastronomy, what music do they like and how do they party.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would like to share my work as an amateur photographer, I like taking portraits of people.

And I'll share my great attitude, with me any plan is a good plan. I'll rarely say no to anything. If you want to go out count me in! hehe
