About Me

We are a family of four, me, Lydia, and my three kids, Nicolas (13) and Arturo (16), and Laura (30).
We love traveling. Originally from Colombia, we have lived for more than 7 years in the US, and we are now studying and working in the Netherlands for 7 years. I am a Ph.D. researcher at the University of Twente and at Universidad Distrital in Colombia.
We speak fluent English and Spanish. My kids are learning Dutch, German, and French. They regularly travel and long periods to the US to visit their father. We love music, kids play Piano. We love biking, swimming in the sea, scuba diving, and trekking in the mountains.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We love traveling everywhere! And we love to have guests from all over the world.
We are also considering kids exchange visits for summer times for practicing language visits. We love to host visitors who speak German, French or Dutch to have a little chance of learning and practicing the languages that my kids are learning. We also love to share a bit of our culture and our mother tonge (Spanish).
