Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I am on Couchsurfing because I love meeting new people and experiencing different cultures. I've used Couchsurfing in Puerto Vallarta, Guadalajara, and New York, where I've met fantastic people. Now, I want to offer a space for visitors to experience the best of Colombia. I also want to continue meeting people on my travels, as I believe the best way to get to know a place is through its locals.
