About Me

Love traveling and meeting new people, learn from the differences and enjoy living. Born and race in Colombia, actually studying law and history and when I have free time I try to travel and live in adventure. Actually interested in photography, harmonica, cooking and construction basics.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I´m in couchsurfing cause I believe humans are capable to stand rewarding relations between them. It´s also more pure when money isn’t distracting us of catching the essence that each person has to offer. For me, this network helps to connect people that want to share, just that make it awesome.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Solo traveling by latinamerica. Hitchhiking long distances in Ecuador. Walk in the deep deserts of Colombia sometimes getting a bit lost but fortunately coming back to civilization. Passing the ¨Trampolin de la muerte¨ (trampoline of death), colombias most dangerous death road and one of the most dangerous of the world. Watching Andean condors fly really high. Bogota protesting, graffiti making and free massive rock concerts. Trekking some amazing places in Latin America. Eating delicious Peruvian lunch’s for less a dollar. Rain of stars.
