My name is Maria Alejandra Rico, I am 26 years old and one of my passions is to travel and get to know new people, cultures and different places. I was born in Bogotá, Colombia and I am a Psychologist.

I recently moved to Vancouver with my fiancé. I am studying a Post Degree Diploma in Business Administration and with my fiancé we love to have adventures while traveling around the world. I have travel to Europe, South America, United States and Central America, one of my goals is to keep traveling to other parts of the world so we can build memories as a couple.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am couchsurfing, because I had discover that the way to actually get to know the place is getting to know people that had been living in the place. It is also a way of meeting and creating new relationships that can become my friends in the future. With my fiancé we believe that sharing cultures is one of the biggest ways for having new learning outcomes, at the end all these experiences are the ones that help us building our personality.
