One part of me thinks I can't do justice to myself in this curated little part of me, the other thinks it's too pretentious to not even try and be casual and joyous, and another just wouldn't know how to stand out amongst the incredible people in this community so, guess that you'll have to know me by knowing me. (Is this rant a green or a red flag? Check the references if you're doubtful)

If we want to be normal functional human beings, I guess I can tell you I'm a filmmaking graduate who is learning the hard way to give a farewell (I'm still terrible at it), but I usually prefer to keep reminding myself of the kindness of people, the willingness to learn, to explore and to enjoy this quick ride that life is, even if it's speaking from privilege.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Every place I go I try to know through 2 main important aspects, the people and the food, and couchsurfing provides an opportunity to do just that, through the kindness of humans and the love for travelling, it has left such an impact in me that I can't travel again without trying it.

Also, look up the Colombian peso to Euro exchange rate, I'm broke for life.

Interests

I love watching, discussing, writing and reviewing movies, it's what I studied for and one of the fastest ways to really get me emotional. I tend to enjoy a good hiking trail as much as a good museum.

I also love cooking so much that I will look at the people enjoying my food thinking that I probably studied the wrong career.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I helped build a dog shelter in the mountains of Antioquia

I managed to couchsurf half my country through my scout friends

I realized the meaninglessness of existence and therefore got motivated to keep giving it a meaning, appreciating every moment to the fullest.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can talk about movies for hours, so recommendations are appreciated, I know a fair bit about my city so I think I'm a better guide than most locals and would appreciate it if you had hidden gems to point out in yours. When exchanging a language, I especially enjoy learning common sayings so expect some of those along with survival tips for the different Spanish dialects in Latin America.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Expert dishwashing, language practice, fun facts about Colombian culture, chores, cooking, and a new friend.
