About Me

CURRENT MISSION:

Finish my masters degree and getting to visit as much as i can in Europe and beyond ! 🙌🏼

BIO:
Colombian student (German Philology) Worked as Au Pair in Cologne, Germany and traveled around 13 countries in Europe. I lived in Bogotá for 11 years since I moved there from home to start studying at the university, and now I’m living in Berlin since October 2022 and currently living for a short period of 6 months in Vienna, Austria during my Erasmus stay.

PHILOSOPHY

Do it alright or don't do it at all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined cs mainly because this year (2016) I had the chance to travel easily, what means having the opportunity to discover new cultures and lots of interesting and amazing people (not just by staying with them but also in the streets, when you go walking through a town), and that drives me to want to discover and travel more! There are just too many things, traditions and people to discover, learn about and get to know, in that order.

Nowadays (2022, 2023, 2024) I´m back in Europe and want to take a huge grasp again of what this beautiful continent can offer and experience as much as I can while travelling and discovering wonderful places and people!

Music, Movies, and Books

I kinda hear almost any type of music. My favourite band is the Sex Pistols!! But I also hear from latin music to the most brutal type of metal hahaha it's not complicated for me to hear anything.

My taste in movies leans toward horror, drama and suspense. My favourite director is Tim Burton. I'd be out of characters if I write all the movies I've liked! I only like one romance movie saga: Before Sunrise, Before Sunset and Before Midnight. I think it's a pretty down-to-earth love story and not that typical cliche Hollywood always sells...

I mostly read just universal literature or the most representative titles of Latin American authors but my favourite author is E. A. Poe. My favourite forms are poetry and novels. My fave book is Sophie's World :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wandering around a waterfall nearby my hometown with my mom, my grandma and my little cousin. It may be not wow-amazing but it was totally meaningful for me and it combined two things I love the most: nature and family.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you'd like we could arrange a Spanish/Your first language tandem :) specially if this one is German, English or Portuguese.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a very proud Colombian gal and mostly proud of the culinary traditions of my home country, so if you want to eat a delicious sancocho or delightful arepas, I'm the correct person!
