Soy super fanática de couchsurfing los mejores lugares y las mejores comidas las hemos explorado junto con mis anfitriones y mis surfers, ya he visitado centro, sur y norte América, Europa y Asia, y en todos los viajes he encontrado gente maravillosa, mis amigos también me han visitado en Colombia y esa experiencia es genial!!!

Mi perfil ha estado desactualizado por mucho ya que solía viajar con mi expareja, y todas las fotos las voy a dejar son todos buenísimos recuerdos, sin embargo me he dado cuenta es un excelente filtro para los que no leen los perfiles ya que leen solo las referencias y colocan los dos nombres y eso sí estoy de buenas porque las últimas solicitudes solo me llegan de la siguiente manera "mañana llego a Ibagué me quedo dos noches" en serio esta es la mayor razón por la que no he hospedado, los nuevos miembros a veces no se comunican bien.

En cuento a mí, si es cierto cocino rico, soy habladora tengo muchas anécdotas por contar, consejos por dar y recibir, me gusta la naturaleza, salir a bailar :)

Soy super respetuosa, sigo las reglas de casa, soy muy ordenada y me gustan los perros y gatos en las fotos están algunas de las mascotas de mis amigos dónde me han hospedado. Cómo viajo mucho decidí no tener mascota luego de que Pecas, mi dálmata muriera hace dos años.

Por favor mira mis fotos cuando digo que mis anfitriones son mis amigos es en serio mi casa es tu casa, me encanta que me visiten por ejemplo mi último anfitrión en Holanda en junio 2018 estuvo con su hermano en diciembre 2018 en Colombia, mis amigos de couchsurfing son mis amigos para toda la vida!!!!!

I'm Ana María, I did some trips and thought the couchsurfing is the best way to travel in the amount of friends you can find in the world, I like to be friends of the people who help me with hosting, Im are respectful and ordered.

Im Environmental Engineer and Auditor, so do you need some help on these issues or in Quality Management Systems, I can also help. facebook profile: https://www.facebook.com/ana.ortizgarzon I also share our place in: talktalbnbs profile: http://www.talktalkbnb.com/es/alojamiento-gratuito-ibague-colombia-ana-maria/3780 https://www.guesttoguest.es/es/user/view/306558 facebooks profile: https://www.facebook.com/ana.ortizgarzon go cambios profile: https://www.gocambio.com/es/profile/3781 airbnbs profile https://www.airbnb.com.co/rooms/11689428 bewelcome profile http://www.bewelcome.org/members/AnaOrtizIbague

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I can share my experience to travel with other people and listen new stories to feel alive :)

As I wrote we have made some trips and thought the couchsurfing is the best way to travel in the amount of friends you can find in the world, on the journey through Central America we only did CS once and these friends have visited in Colombia :)

On the trip to the Galapagos Islands I did CS and was the best share rides, New Year party, I met many friends and they came to visit me in Colombia, at least eight friends, for me was super fun because I felt the energy of our trip to the Galapagos.
So I decided that my way of traveling CS be the best option.

Como ya lo escribí hemos realizado algunos viajes y pensamos que el couchsurfing es la mejor manera de viajar por la cantidad de amigos que puedes encontrar en el mundo, en el viaje por Centro américa solo hicimos CS una vez y estos amigos ya nos visitaron en Colombia, en este viaje a pesar de que conocimos ocho países hicimos pocos amigos, los viajeros siempre están cambiando de hostel, y algunos son muy reservados a la hora de hacer amigos sino coinciden en su ruta.

En el viaje a las Islas Galápagos sólo hicimos CS y fue lo mejor compartimos paseos, comidas, navidad, año nuevo, por lo que nos dimos cuenta que el CS es nuestra manera preferida de viajar, aunque en Galápagos nos hospedaron solo tres personas, conocimos muchísimos amigos y ya vinieron a visitarnos ocho amigos que para nosotros fué súper divertido porque sentíamos la energía de nuestro viaje a Galápagos.
Por eso decidimos que nuestra manera de viajar CS será la mejor opción.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walk in the nigth, by the lonely streets to ometepe island, and saw the lights of the fireflies :) 2014

Well there are many things I've seen, but swimming with sea lions, turtles, octopus, penguins, sharks, iguanas, UNPAID TOUR, is something very special, that I did in the three islands we visited in Galapagos and the experience with the animals is swimming with it without hurting you, you're doing just watching... you watching them eat or fishing or eating algae, finally it's very nice for me.

2016

2019

Viaje a la Patagonia CHILE & Argentina 🇦🇷 con mi esposo Steve.

2015

Bueno hay muchas cosas que he visto, pero nadar con lobos marinos, tortugas, pulpos, pinguinos, tiburones, iguanas, SIN PAGAR TOUR, es algo muy especial, esto lo hice en las tres islas que visité en Galapagos y la experiencia de que un animal está contigo nadando sin hacerte daño, sólo viendo que estás haciendo ó tú viéndolos alimentarse pescando ó comiendo algas, en fín es algo muy lindo para mí.
