About Me

"I was born in Bogota, Colombia, and I lived in Argentina for 7 years, so I proudly hold two nationalities. Additionally, I spent 6 incredible months in Boston, United States, and for the past 4 years, I've been soaking up life in Australia.

Traveling is my passion, and I absolutely love immersing myself in various cultures through interactions with people, music, dance, and of course, food.

It would be a delight to cross paths with you and enjoy a wonderful conversation over a meal or a drink. Looking forward to the possibility!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a big fan of connecting with people from various cultures. There's something truly wonderful about swapping travel tales and experiences. When I travel, I often opt for hostels, but I've discovered that "Couchsurfing" is an incredible chance to dive into different destinations alongside the locals.

So far, my experiences with this style of travel have been nothing short of fantastic!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is a major passion of mine. I'm all about progressive house, techno, afro, tribal, and funk, but I also love kicking back to chill genres like rap, reggae, and jazz. Music takes up a huge chunk of my life and brings so much joy.

As for movies, I'm drawn to documentaries that explore culture, food, music, and photography. I'm also a big fan of TEDx talks – they're a great source of inspiration and knowledge for me.

Psychology, self-growth, and exploring diverse cultures through books must provide you with a wealth of insights and perspectives. Keep on exploring and learning!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

"I've had some truly remarkable adventures! I've gone scuba diving in Queensland, Australia, where I encountered plenty of friendly nurse sharks. In the Philippines, I dove into the depths to explore mesmerizing shipwrecks that lie under 30 meters of water. Indonesia offered me breathtaking hikes, taking me to the summits of different volcanoes.

My solo travels took me to Hawaii, where I had the incredible opportunity to explore the beauty of the islands on my own. And my time in India was deeply enriching – I spent a month in Rishikesh, practicing Iyengar Yoga and immersing myself in the spiritual culture.

But that's not all! I've also explored my own backyard, traveling extensively across Australia. I've embraced the adventurous spirit by living in a rooftop tent and visiting unforgettable places. It's been an amazing journey so far!"

Teach, Learn, Share

"I'm a huge fan of outdoor activities like climbing and hiking. You'll often find me on a mountain or a trail. I'm also really into yoga, meditation, and breathwork – they keep me centered and full of good vibes.

During my time in Australia, I earned my open water and advanced scuba diving certificates. The underwater world stole my heart and hasn't given it back!

When it comes to food, I'm a proud vegetarian and a bit of a cooking addict. Imagine us chatting away while I whip up a delicious meal and we savor it with a nice glass of red wine.

Guess what? I've recently started DJing – a beginner, but loving every beat. Music is like magic in my life. I love to blend different genres when I DJ – from progressive and afro to tech house. And while I'm cooking, you'll catch me grooving to chill rap, reggae, jazz, and tropical tunes.

Hailing from Colombia, I've got that tropical blood that fuels my passion for dancing. Oh, and did I mention I'd be thrilled to share more about my Colombian and Argentine culture? Let's connect and have a blast!"

What I Can Share with Hosts

"I absolutely love cooking, so how about I whip up a delicious vegetarian dish for you?

And picture this: in the mornings, we can kick back with some Mate (Argentinian Tea) while we dive into fascinating conversations.

Since I'm also diving into yoga, meditation, and various breath techniques, why not join me? It would be amazing to practice and learn together.

Oh, and speaking of amazing, let's not forget about Latin Music! We can groove to some tunes and if the mood strikes, why not bust a move and dance too?

So many incredible plans on the horizon – I can't wait to experience them all with you!"
