ABOUT ME

I am a friendly, easy going, down to earth, I like people who enjoy the life without prejudices and always have a nice attitude to face the challenges that life give us.

I'd been living in Colombia all my life, but six months ago I decided traveling to Australia with the purpose to learn and improve my english skills. Now I'm in Melbourne and spend my time between my english college, house and some times hang out with my friends

PHILOSOPHY

Pursue dreams and face challenges

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Before to start my trip to Australia, I took some a english classes with an excellent teacher who talked to me about the social network for backpackers, so since that moment I started to explore Couchsurfing. I've been in a some trips, aventures, parties and meeting, where I've known a lot interesting people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like rock, pop, electronic, acoustic, soundtracks; I think all music is pretty good but each one have a suitable moment for enjoying it. I watch different kind of movies but I prefer the drama and comedy, however movies like The tourist, Skyfall, A beautiful mind, The pursuit of happiness and Gladiator have been my favorities. I enjoy reading to writers like Jose Saramago, Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It was in Colombia in a small town called Villa de Leyva. Me and my closer friends packed our backs "mochilas", rented two jeeps and went to amazing camp which has a beautiful landscape and awesome waterfalls. We spend there around 3 days enjoying of the nature and the perfect weather.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like help people who want improve spanish language and want know about south America especially Colombia.
Also, I'm Electromechanical engineer, so I like all topics related with engineering.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can give you couch for a couple of nights, going out, get some drinks and food or just walking along the interest places in Bogota, all of this have to be during night time or weekends coz I am working from Monday to Friday.

Also we could plan to visit some places close to Bogota. ;)
