I'm currently unable to receive visitors at home because I'm renovating. I hope to be able to reorganize my space in Moñitos (Colombia) soon to welcome more travelers and continue growing this wonderful global community.

---ENGLISH BELOW---

Soy Sebastián y hace más de seis años vivo como nómada con Mariana, generalmente estamos en un motorhome por Suramérica aunque también hemos estado de mochila por Sudeste Asiático o recorriendo en moto también... básicamente cualquier formato que nos permita continuar esta locura.

Si te escribí es porque tenemos algo en común o que sea de mi interés, si no te pasa lo mismo me gustaría un: "no estoy interesado", así seguimos construyendo con respeto.

Me gradué como ingeniero ambiental, trabajé en oficina, pero los minutos en moto recorriendo las montañas de Colombia eran los que me daban felicidad. Gracias a la valentía de la que hoy es mi esposa hoy tenemos una camioneta camperizada en la cual llevamos todo lo realmente necesario para vivir, vivimos con muy poco y hemos multiplicado varias veces los países que conocíamos, los kilómetros que habíamos hecho, las playas que habíamos caminado... y así se siguen sumando cosas todos los días.
Hemos conocido de cerca la vida del campo y en ciudades, diferentes profesiones y status sociales, cuidado animales, construido cosas, pintado, tejido, bailado, caminado y nadado por sitios que no hubiésemos podido imaginar, hicimos apicultura, trabajamos en hostales y lodges, cuidamos jabalíes, peinamos caballos, fabricamos escobas, enseñamos a niños y los niños nos enseñaron, construimos con barro y recogimos huevos, aprendimos idiomas y nos comunicamos con señas, volamos, navegamos, manejamos y nos llevaron.
En todo este camino ha sido hecho gracias a nosotros mismos pero también a mucha gente que nos ha dado una mano o nos ha abierto una puerta o nos han comprado cosas o nos ha dado trabajo...
Espero poder compartir más historias y más de mi vida y cultura contigo, y si no es así igual te deseo suerte y éxitos en todos tua sueños.

ENGLISH

I'm Sebastián, and I've been living a nomad life with Mariana for over six years. We're usually in a motorhome traveling through South America, although we've also backpacked through Southeast Asia and traveled by motorcycle—basically any way we can keep this crazy adventure going.

If I'm writing to you will be because we have something in common or something that interests me. If you don't feel the same way, I'd appreciate a "not interested" so we can continue building something respectfully.

I graduated as an environmental engineer and worked in an office, but it was the time I spent riding my motorcycle through the Colombian mountains that truly brought me happiness.  Thanks to the courage of my now-wife, we now have a camper van in which we carry everything we truly need to live. We live with very little and have multiplied several times over: the countries we've visited, the kilometers we've traveled, the beaches we've walked... and things keep adding up every day.
We've experienced life in the countryside and in cities firsthand, different professions and social statuses, cared for animals, built things, painted, knitted, danced, hiked and swam in places we could never have had imagined, tried beekeeping, worked in hostels and lodges, cared for wild boars, groomed horses, made brooms, taught children and the children taught us, built with mud and collected eggs, learned languages ​​and communicated with sign language, flown, sailed, drove, and been given rides.

This entire journey has been thanks to ourselves, but also to many people who have lent us a hand, opened doors for us, bought things from us, or given us jobs... I hope to share more stories and more of my life and culture with you, and if not, I still wish you luck and success in all your dreams.

I love contractions, chess, reggaeton, and salsa. My favorite phrase is: Everything flows, nothing remains. I'm Sebastián from Colombia, hopefully we would share some of ourselves.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Having people from different parts of the world come into my home has truly changed my life. Recognizing myself and my culture through the eyes of someone else has encouraged me to be a better person and to better understand my country.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Reaching the Lost City in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia, climbing the mountain for days. Traveling through La Guajira and experiencing the Wayuu indigenous culture. Living in Brazil and experiencing the Rio de Janeiro Carnival is something very difficult to explain, and I hope that everyone could experience it at least once in their life.

Teach, Learn, Share

The main motivation to be on the road is getting to know people and their cultures, the insider view! Mostly do this through volunteering, I've lived, learned, and shared wonderful and unimaginable experiences with Workaway, and sometimes found a way to have it with CS.
