CURRENT MISSION

To break free from limiting beliefs, master the art of fika, and collect stories worth telling (and a few I’ll keep to myself).

ABOUT ME

Born in Bogotá, shaped by Medellín, and now adjusting to life in Sweden — where the days are longer, the winters are finally over, and the cinnamon rolls somehow taste better after a long walk.

I’m a doctor navigating the delicate balance between science and life’s simple joys. When I'm not at the hospital, you’ll probably find me wandering parks, getting lost in new cities, or finding the perfect coffee spot to watch the world go by.

I believe the most meaningful moments often happen when you least expect them — a random conversation, an impulsive plan, a sunset that catches you off guard.
I’m straightforward, a bit unpredictable in the best way, and genuinely curious about people’s hidden stories. (Yours included.)

Since I'm living abroad, I’m always happy to meet up for a fika, a spontaneous city stroll, or simply to share a few laughs about life’s absurdities.
Some stories I’ll share right away. Some you’ll have to earn.

PHILOSOPHY

We travel not to escape life, but so life doesn’t escape us.

Happiness is only real when shared.

There are no strangers — only friends we haven’t met yet.

Don't dream your life — live your dreams.

Always say yes to a second fika. You never know who you'll meet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because the best parts of traveling aren’t places — they’re people.

I’m here to connect beyond small talk, to swap stories, share laughs, and maybe find those rare conversations that stick with you long after you’ve moved on.

Living abroad makes you realize that home isn’t always a location — sometimes it’s a moment, a table full of strangers who feel like friends, or a coffee shared without rushing.
That’s what I'm looking for here: real connections, unexpected moments, and good company in new places.

Interests

I'm endlessly curious about almost everything — from how people think to how cities breathe when you're not rushing through them.

I’m passionate about medicine, hiking, cooking experiments that sometimes succeed, and the small rituals that make life sweeter (like fika in Sweden or an arepa shared back home).

I love conversations that wander — the kind that start with a simple question and end up somewhere completely unexpected.
Books, street art, live music, languages, psychology, random historical facts, slow mornings, and last-minute adventures also have a strong pull on me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversations, a genuine curiosity about your world, and a pretty great homemade Colombian arepa if you’re brave enough to try it.

I can offer a laid-back vibe, some funny (and sometimes unbelievable) stories from my life between Colombia and Sweden, and a willingness to join spontaneous plans — whether that’s a random hike, cooking together, or just chilling over coffee.

If you're into learning basic salsa steps or want a crash course in Colombian Spanish (including phrases you definitely won’t find in textbooks), I'm your person.

Above all, I can offer good company without pressure: I'm happy to talk for hours or just share a quiet moment if that's the mood.
Sometimes, the best part of hosting is not having to entertain — just sharing space with someone who appreciates it.
