Hi everyone! i'm Melisa and I would love to help if you need information about Bogota or to hang out! I can't host as I dont have my own place, but please feel free to contact me :) I know a couple of cafés and party places, as well as the city highlights to make the most out of your visit.

My personal philosophy is to enjoy life and live peacefully trying to make others and myself happy. I love discover new places and people with great stories to tell!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My good friend Anna let me know about this project in 2008 while i was studying french in Europe. Since, I have been in meetings and hosted a couple of times, always by great easy going and very entrataining people! My couchinsurfing experince has been really amazing, and even if the last couple of years I have not being very involved, I hope to host fellow travellers as soon as I have my own place!
