I study History and Anthropology in Bogotá, Colombia. I lived six months in Canada, where I learned english, and I´ve studied Italian for three years. I would also like to learn latin, greek and german. I love traveling, specially backpacking and, as you can imagine, I also love meeting and learning about different cultures and traditions. I play the guitar and I´m learning to play the harmonica. I´m also into sports like boxing, swimming, cycling and soccer. I love reading, playing video games and watching movies, but I also love adventure and different plans like camping or going for a beer in town.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I´m on Couchsurfing because I would love to meet people from arround the world, learn from them, and helping them have a great stay in Bogotá. Also, because staying in someone´s couch offers a close-up of the country I´m visiting and it allows me to have a more "realistic" experience of the place I´m travelling to.
