CURRENT MISSION: Obtaining a "Yatch Master Ocean" license from Royal Yatch Association.

ABOUT ME
Borne and raised in Bogota, Colombia. I've the chance to travel extensively around the world form an early age. Thanks to this, I going the experience and insights to build a travel company in Colombia, dedicated to provide experiences and travel services for international visitors, form an authentic perspective and working hand-in-hand with local communities.

After 10 years of hard work, I decided to take a year off to travel alone, and I enrolled myself on a sailing course that will take place in Cape Town, form Jan to June 2023. The goal of the course is obtain advanced sailing skills, and getting a license from the RYA.

I'm vegetarian, I practice capoeira angola, I love the ocean in all its forms. Music moves me. Dance defines me. I'm reconnecting with my native american ancestry through expeditions I've been doing to the Amazon. I'm easy going, I love good conversations and making friends around the world.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

This has been a great tool for navigating the intricate paths of the world, though the connection with people who like other people. Locals who know what it is like to travel. Travelers who want to live local. Travelers sho support each other on their ways, and weave a community of friends globally.

Interessen

My main interests are around sailing and music. I love dancing and learning to play new instruments, music festivals, concerts and above all, the human connection that music facilitates.

I'm vegetarian, and I'm a long time meditator. I'd been exploring psychedelics as a healing tool and therapy. Also learning from Colombia's aboriginal tribes in the amazon, and the enthoigenic plants they use.

I'm a good hiker, I've been rock climbing for 2 years, and continue learning. I use bicycle as a mean os transportation and for leisure.

I'm pretty much an outdoors person. However, growing up in a large city and having lived in NYC, I can find myself comfortable in large cities.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

Learn: Anything. I've always thought that there is no such a thing as "extra" knowledge. And for me, learning is a constant state in my daily life. Even from the worst experiences you can get some good stuff which is learning.
At this moment I'm specially interested in sailing and all that has to do with the maritime world.

Teach: I'm a good dancer and I love to teach. Also yoga and meditation. I'm a good vegetarian food cook.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

My willingness to connect and make friends. A good conversation. Presence. Colombian Specialty coffee. 'Rape' form the colombian amazon.
