Hi there!

My name is Marcela and I’m from Cali-Colombia! I’m an actress and Theater teacher; currently I’m making a cultural exchange and I’m going to be in Philadelphia for about two years!

I want to see as much as I can the landscapes and cities of the United States while I’m here and know more about its culture! I love to talk but most, I love to listen! Hope to see and hear from you soon! ☺️

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel around the world, in this moment I’m living in the EEUU, so I want to make of this experience a complete “cultural exchange” and know as much as I can about life here, culture, history, etc!

And also share information about my country! It’s a beautiful place to go and everyone should go at least once in a lifetime!
