ABOUT ME

I am Sarah, 26. What a difficult task to "write all about me". Anyway. I studied music and a bit of antrhopology. I play the violin and do contemporary dance. I also teach violin. I love arts, reading, dancing and helping people. I have 4 dogs: Ramón, Pastora, Fiorella y Sombra. I have a bicycle and i go everywhere in Bogotá on my bike. I really like travelling, meeting new people, and getting to know other cultures. I hate mobile phones, facebook and injustices. I am not interested on dating over this website. I am openminded. Open to creative ideas and projects that includes arts, politics diversity, music, social integration and fun.

PHILOSOPHY

"lo que no está prohibido, está permitido"
Viajar es lo que más abre la mente y dónde más aprendes sobre ti mismo y sobre el mundo.
Hay que ser feliz por uno mismo, que la felicidad no dependa de alguien más.
Travelling is the best way to learn about your self and about life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to show Colombia to other people. Not just the beautiful turistic sights but also the hard reality we live in. I want to change the way many people think about Colombia. Colombia is not just drugs and violence. I want to help people in a dangerous city as Bogotá and show them different parts of lifestyles in Bogotá. I would love to share my couch but is not allways possible as i live with family and dogs.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new here but i´ve done similar things. Many people i met briefly in some places like Cuba, México, Santa Marta and Europe, then stayed at my place or i stayed at their places, and it was allways a good experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Many amazing things. life is an amazing thing.
Having the possibility of meeting people from different places. Unfortunately in my country not everybody can do that (travel, and getting to know other cultures) because of economic and social problems.
Some amazing things i´ve seen and done that i keep in my heart: Amazon River, Mayan Ruins, Climbing Nevado del Tolima (Colombia), sharing for one month with an indigenous comunity (Wayuú) at the "Serrania de a Makuira" in Colombia.

Teach, Learn, Share

I´d love to share and teach my skills with music, specially with the violin.
As i am very into music i´d love to learn other instruments, and to share with other musicians.
I love languages because they are not only a way to comunicate but also a way to know other cultures and expressions. I speak Spanish (mother tonge) and English and i am learning french. I am up to teach spanish, teach and practice English, learn and imprive French and any other language.
