About Me

As a kid I was always fascinated with foreigners, I was atracted to everything that was "against" the typical cultural assignment I was living in. I felt interested in spirituality, even though I didn´t know I was. At a very early age I questioned life itself, the meaning of being alive, of moving in this earth. When I was 12 I read a book called "self-knowledge" by Krishnamurty and after reading some pages my life had a 180 degrees change, you might say that the book set me free in a way.

Ever since then I´ve been looking for new experiences that show me the greatest things

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started college 5 years ago and now I´m in some sore of sabbatic year and that´s why I´m traveling, I started traveling this year, in january. I´ve been mostly in Perú, 2 months in Ecuador and now I want to go to Bolivia. My goal is to meet at least Argentina and Brasil before going back to Colombia next year.
So far I´ve been moving with the money I make in the way selling handmade stuff or whatever I decide to try to "make a living", even though I now know that money isn´s everything when u r moving trough the world (and trough life actually). The whole point is to enjoy anyway, right? :)
In a certain way my life started again once I left home, right now I feel like a child learning how to walk, how to talk, how to be a joyful human being. I´m in a process of renewal, trying to leave heavy baggage behind, trying to heal, in the pursue of happyness if you want to call it that way, All this through meeting new people and letting myself be amazed by, in words of Mccandless, the "simple beauty" of nature.
So that´s why I´m on couchsurfing,
