Hi there! We’re Johan and Alejandra, a couple from Medellín, Colombia 🇨🇴. This is our first time using Couchsurfing and also our first adventure in Europe, so we’re super excited about this Eurotrip we’ve been dreaming of for years. 🗺️✈️

Our plan is to visit cities like Rome, Venice, Switzerland, Berlin, Amsterdam, Barcelona, and Madrid, but we’re always open to exploring hidden gems if the journey takes us there. Beyond the usual tourist spots, we want to truly experience the local culture, and we believe the best way to do that is through the amazing people who live in these places. 🌍❤️

We’re both passionate about traveling and, while we’ve mostly explored Latin America (and, of course, every corner of Colombia!), we’re ready to see what Europe has to offer. We love learning about history, music, food, iconic landmarks, and the little local secrets that make each destination special.

Most importantly, we’re all about meeting incredible people along the way. We believe every conversation and shared experience helps us grow and gives us a new perspective on life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For us, traveling isn’t just about seeing places—it’s about connecting with the people who bring them to life. Couchsurfing feels like the perfect way to exchange cultures, experience a destination from a local’s perspective, and build friendships around the world.

We’d also love to return the favor, depending on the time of year, as we live between Medellín, Colombia, and Montreal, Canada. Whether you’re interested in stunning Colombian landscapes or the charm of Canada, we’d be happy to show you around and share the best of both worlds! 🇨🇴🇨🇦
