About Me

I like to meet travelers and make friends around the world.

Smoking is not allowed. Also, it's better to start your message with something about bicycles! 🚲 Please, if you have confirmed your stay and your plans change, have the courtesy of letting me know so we can give the opportunity to other travelers.

I was in Australia 6 months studying English, there I could see that part of the world and get a lot of new experiences. After this my journey started!... I made Tasmania on bicycle for 3 weeks, I can say that this was my best solo experience. Then I went to Thailand to do volunteering in a farm. I visited Budapest 2 nights and then I did volunteering in the best hostel in Banská Bystrica, Slovakia. for 3 weeks. I'm into cycling, hiking, camping and trying to play ultimate Frisbee.

I have worked as a volunteer in different projects in my country, related with poverty, cycling and IT. For two years, I worked with a foundation dedicated to building homes for people facing difficult circumstances. Since 2013 I am part of a group, promoting urban cycling, we took care of 300 - 1000 cyclists on the road every Wednesday's night.

BTW, I work as a software developer.

I'm very active in the cyclist community in Medellín and you can find me in WarmShowers, similar to CS but for travelers on bicycle: https://www.warmshowers.org/user/204115

No se permite fumar. Además, como prueba de que has leído mi perfil antes que nada, escribe “¡mejor en bici!” al comienzo de tu solicitud! 🚲 Por favor, si has confirmado tu estadía y tus planes cambian, ten la cortesía de hacérmelo saber para darle la oportunidad a otros viajeros.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I need to say that I have started my life as a traveler 8 months ago (2018) when I decided to go to Australia. Since there, my mind has changed a lot and I want to visit different places, but not like a tourist, I wish meet the local people, work with them and understand their customs and lifestyle. I believe that with Couchsurfing I can do this.

Interests

I am interested in a lot of things like organic farming, knitting, cooking, alternative house building, local networking projects, community living, urban living and so on.
