About Me

Whenever i wake up in the morning i start thinking what new thing i will know today. Sometimes i sleep thinking about places that i have already gone or cities that i would like to go. In my job as a guide in Bike tours in Bogotá, i´m able to meet different people every day, they come from cities far away from mine and bring their own tales and myths. But there ir one thing in common, they like to learn, most of them hear the histories of my own town because they are interested in my culture so as i do in their. So basically i am a person of the world. Who enjoys to discover a new place, a new history, a new game.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because a lot of people told me about the faculties of this social network. I´ve travelled in my country by several years stopping in villages and farms where peasants allow you to share. The are the best company when you are traveling alone through mountains and valleys. I believe that the best way to know a place is with locals. So as i do in my job, i speak as a local and the people can feel they are like in their hometown.

Interests

I love mountains and bicycles. These two things have gave me hope and peace in my live. Although i live in the capital and work in the downtown, i try to invest all my free time in landscape. I wold like to travel around south america with my bike two proof my self there is no limit for imagination.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love rock, blues and of course as a Colomian Salsa. Since i was a child i learn how to dance. It is mandatory for a men to invite women to Salsa on weekend. Whenever i go for movies i look for something new o something made by passion. Somehow the movie has to go from sadness to hapinnes. No hollywood bestsellers. Prefer independent Cinema. Like Alejandro Yodorowsky´s "Sacred Moutain" or "Samsara" from the producer of "Baraka". Books, well now i´m reading one called "The river" by Wade Davis. A travel inside the powerful plants of South America. A trip from North Mexico to South Peru and Bolivia.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To sorround Sierra Nevada del Cocuy. This is a six day trek inside of one of the biggest mountain of Colombia. I had to carry all my food. But i´ve reached two picks of more than five thousand meters of high above the see level. I did it on a new year eve.

Teach, Learn, Share

A lot of social histories of my country i enjoy history and myths of creation, some of them related to fantastic places around my place. Routes and techniques inside of colombian mountains and bicycles to share. The best way two travel and see the city. Want to learn about your country, gastronomic receipts, traditional cocktails and as much different language i can grab.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share all that i know about my city and several cool places in Bogota.
