I'm from Colombia and I enjoy traveling, learning languages, photography, football, comedy, music, movies, and TV series. I lived in Sweden as part of an exchange program with my home university and I had the opportunity to travel around Europe by myself for two months before that, an experience that allowed me to know myself better. Since then, traveling and exploring new places and cultures have become a top priority in my life.

In 2021, I dipped my feet into the digital nomad life in Central and South America, and I'd like to continue on that path to explore new places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

"... in this terrifying world, all we have are the connections that we make." (BoJack Horseman).

I think the best way to really explore and get to know about a place´s culture is with the help of locals. Whether they were born there, or have lived there for a while, an insider's point of view is unique.

I also think that CS allows people from so many different places, cultures, and points of view to share, teach (and learn) from, and help each other.

Interests

I like running, biking, and hiking. I like photography, but I've never managed to develop my skills so much. I listen to a lot of music; I enjoy concerts and music festivals. Mainly hard rock and indie. I like learning new languages and meeting new people, and of course traveling and exploring new places and things. I also like writing poetry, and recently I've been wanting to get into comedy (stand-up, improv, writing).
