PLEASE TAKE YOUR TIME TO SEND ME A COUCH REQUEST.

Hello! I am Alejandra, I work as Spanish teacher and guide in Jardín.

I have 1 option of CS for maximum 2 people.
At the moment, is better for me to receive 2 travelers, so they don't feel alone. It would be better if you have a sleeping bag. I RECEIVE IN PRIORITY PEOPLE WHO Have RECEIVED PEOPLE AT HOME ALREADY and have references from other couch surfers.

The house is in 30 min walking from town. Rooms are fine with private toilet. Is between rural and urban area.I can only receive from Friday with departure on Sunday or Monday if is a holiday because during the week I am very busy. I only accept requests done 2 days in advance, so I can organize myself to receive you and also clean the room for you.

About me,

My name is Alejandra, you can call me Ale. I created a Spanish school in Jardin and Medellin. I am also a tour guide in Jardin.
After 2 years of traveling around the world and having the opportunity to be received by many people in different countries (Iran, Turkey, Italy, Greece, etc). I came back to Colombia to start my projects as a Spanish teacher in Medellin and building a house to create a cultural center in Jardin.

In Jardin I have a place for sleeping in a room with 2 single beds, in a house on the rural area but not far from the town center. I have the basic for living but private toilet and room for you. I have only the basic things for living and cooking but you are welcome to come.

I like to discover new places, new cultures, listen to people's histories, walk on the mountains, bike on the city, swim (is the most relaxing thing ), watch films from around the world, take time to share a good time with every person I meet.

Part of my heart and way of thinking is french, I've studied in France 7, those years in France have changed completely my life. So I try to keep my contact with France and speak french whenever is possible.

I work on different projects related to languages and international projects. Love coffee , music in different languages , I try to learn how to cook international food.

J'adore le fromage français, la tartiflette, les apéro mais aussi les patacones con hogao, los frijoles antioqueños, la changua y el chocolate con queso :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Please read this before sending a CS request. Thanks.

I am NOT in CS for getting accommodation for free!. I ONLY give couch to people with references.

In Medellin, I participate and organize languages exchanges (specially portugais and french), sometimes salsa and pizza activities.

In Antalya-Turkey I organized picnics on Sundays.

I go often to CS activities (walking on mountains, concerts, picnics, cooking in someone's house etc..)

My best friends in Medellin are from CS. I just had great experiences.
