About Me

Colombian girl living in Sweden for 25years. I have been in Colombia 6 months now, 😅 the plan is to stay for 1 year & go back to Sweden after that. Big change!!!! (Back in Sweden in June 2024)!

I am an anthropologist and I worked in the past with different projects with NGO’s. I work as a social worker in Sweden & I have always worked with people in vulnerable situations.

I love traveling & I travel a lot with my daughter! I have those crazy, fun, latino-gens, mixed with the Swedish way of thinking. I’m open minded and I’m sure I gonna make you laugh a lot! 😁

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host people when I am not traveling, I have done some couchsurfing and I have met couchsurfers from all over the world through groups I belong to in this comunity.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Lots of fun having lunch, picnics, parties, hanging out, cuchsurfing and hosting wanderful people from CS.

Interests

I love having a fitness lifestyle, going to the gym many times a week, eating healthy...but I am a food lover too so I am always eating (all kind of food), I love to cook food from all over the world & try new restaurants. I love wine & reggaeton as well 😜

I love to travel, to learn as much as possible from other cultures, to eat different things, explore new places, backpack/travel alone but also with my daughter, family, friends and with completely strangers. It’s just lots of fun! I love to meet new people

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As an anthropologist, I found it amazing and interesting to see a funeral where the locals burned the body in the middle of a park where everybody could see it. This was in Indonesia.

Another amazing thing: I loved to be in the middle of no where, in the jungle, in a hut. I was eating food wraped in banana leafs and drinking a very strong licour with chili with the chief of a tribe and his family in Laos.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you salsa, Spanish, Swedish, some tasty dishes and also how to shake your butt :-)
