About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Write something clever

ABOUT ME

¡My friends like me¡

24 is the age I be. I'm a 24 year old aspiring hip hop artist repping the streets of Bogota. Some call me the snoop doggy dee of the Southern Hemisphere but I like to think I rap tighter than him; fo' shizel my nizel. Life ain't easy spinning beats in Colombia so I also have a day job working for the president, just to help me get by... so if you're down for a lyrical battle with one cat that digs the skidaddledaddle than I'd love to be your hostess with the mostest ;D

NOTE: due to my lack of inspiration and written sense of humor, a couchsurfer suggested to "pimp my profile" with this pile of bullshit. The truth is: I'm an average girl who lives in Bogotá and has no musical talent or skills at all. Anyway I'd love to be your hostess with the mostest!!

PHILOSOPHY

"Lo que no se cura con aguardiente necesita cirugía"

¿Why not?

"Hapiness is only real when shared"

Life ain't easy living in a ganster's paradise, dawg!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, I try to make people feel like home when they are travelling and I get to interrupt my routine with new friends, new accents, new ideas, new perspectives.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had great experiences visiting other countries. I love to arrive to a place and just see how people live, what they do.... I've visited friends and made some others and all of them have an important place in my good memories drawer. Not to mention my guests. I've loved all of them. Probably this will become a problem because once they are here I don't want them to leave¡¡¡

Interests

Culture, politics, art, party, nature, ice creams, outdoor activities, literature, MUSIC. I love to hear about other people's interests, I like to know what is it that move other people's lifes, what are their passions and concerns.

(I'm addicted to movies¡¡¡¡¡)

My favourite writers are Milan Kundera, Julio Cortazar and Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

I'm totally open in terms of music, I think there's something to fit each moment. I love to dance, so anything that makes me move my feet is perfect (electro, house, funk, techno, vallenato, salsa, merengue, reggae, pop, cumbia, rock etc). Must confess Ive been having an affair with indie music lately.
