About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Can show the city in Bogotá, Colombia. (Can walk some historical places with an without some nerdy intros).

ABOUT ME
I think it's difficult to talk about oneself, but I suppose I can say I'm an easy going person, I love any kind of music and I really enjoy showing Bogotá.

I speak some english and french and I would like to practice some (but it's ok if you want to learn spanish from me). I'm also a spanish teacher for beginners.

I studied Literature but I work as an historian; my subject: student movements from the 20's (Really specific, I know).

I'd love to travel all over the world but right now I'm just saving money to do it.

PHILOSOPHY
As a host: make sure the surfers feel confortables and make sure they really get to know Bogotá.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to show my town so people can say they really went to Bogotá. I can host up to three people in La Habana right now. Eventually I'd love to visite some places, but now I'm saving some money.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too difficult...
But I have to say I love Roberto Bolaño ("The savage detectives"), Philippe Sollers (do you know him?), Sofia Coppola ("Lost in translation") and any kind of music. Simple: "Without music, life would be a mistake"; "I wouldn't believe in a god that doesn't dance" (Nietzsche).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling through Latin America!
Meeting people from different places and languages!

Teach, Learn, Share
