About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Try to wake up early in the morning every day

ABOUT ME

I went to film school where I focused on documentary filmaking and a humanistic approach to social issues. Currently trying to assemble my former student way of life with the new, working-man lifestyle I have ahead. Although most of the time it is you against crazy drivers of Bogotá, I really enjoy biking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am glad to be part of a community that uses virtual tools in order to encourage real, physical encounter between people coming from the most different places. Coffee and drinks, eating out, walking through the city are the things i can directly offer. If you are having problems finding a couch I can be helpful at finding one among my circle of friends or my family, because I do not own one.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

While living in Barcelona last semester, walking on random street, I found this large group of people, all of them coming from different countries hanging out together. I approached and asked where they had met. CS was the answer that lingered in my head until now, the moment when I decided to open my own account.

Interests

I went to film school but more than a producer I like to think of myself as a viewer. I love going to the cinema and being up to date with what's current in the movie industry around the globe. As said, bikes are a passion also. I find riding through the city exciting and fun. I love to read, walk around, listen to music and share good conversations,

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Barcelona and the Mediterranean Sea

The International Wastepickers Congress I worked in.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like languages, so that would be the main exchange item. I speak both spanish and english.

I used to work with vulnerable communities of the city so I could show and teach about that as well.

And I work editing video, so if interested I can gladly introduce you to that field.
