About Me

ABOUT ME

Colombian man. Very happy, easygoing, social and friendly. Travel lover, but I haven't traveled yet as much as I want.

PHILOSOPHY

I love to learn new things each day and try to understand why the diversity of thoughts and cultures. I also love to teach the few things I know.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to meet people of all countries, learn about them culture and show something of my own culture.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted just one person from France and I think that was a great experience, for the both of us. Now we are close friends, in fact he hosts one of my best friends in Paris in his home.
When I was traveling through all Brazil I tried to find some hosts but I couldn't, I think that it could be because I was very new in couchsurfing. Anyway some couchsurfers help me there, finding great hostels and giving me tips in some cities.
In Bogotá D.C., Colombia, where I live, I have gone to some parties referenced here and have been great, the people rock there.

Interests

I want to meet people with lenguages, cultures, and ways of thinking different to all I do and know.

I would like to travel around the globe knowing local people that could show me their cities and the beautiful places of each one, and hopefully be great friends and host and help them when they want to come to Colombia.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I try to go to the Parque Tayrona (Santa Marta, Colombia) at least once per year. This is the paradise!

I was in the FIFA World Cup in Brazil in 2014, it was a trip through all the country for 35 days, in 6 cities, 6 game match. That was the most exciting experience in mi life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have visited many places in Colombia, so I can be a great guide. I love to help people on their trips, giving them a lot of tips and valuable information.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well, right now I am living with my broter in a very small apartment so it's a little difficult for me hosting people, but I think that in the second semester of 2016 I'll be living in a bigger one so I could host people again.
