CURRENT MISSION

Keeping my eyes open.

ABOUT ME

Lawyer, cook. I love simple things. I can pull my own weight, am very mindful of others, organized and clean. Perfection is having a nice, simple meal with a side of good conversation.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live. Give back.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting and surfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Currently living in Mexico (between Mexico City and Guadalajara).

Moved to Bucaramanga and decided to give hosting another go in 2019.

Hosted in Bogotá from 2015 to 2016, and, before, hosted a string of surfers in my University dorm in the UK.

Summer in SF, 2015: Had the most incredibly smart and knowledgeable host, who showed me around town and what the true CSing spirit is all about.

Christmas in Paris, 2013: My host saved me from what was turning out to be a lonely holiday and showed me a fabulous time. Eternally grateful to her.

Melbourne, 2011: Contacted an Aussie traveller that I had met in Colombia. Wonderful experience being in someone's hometown.
