CURRENT MISSION

Planting a seed of Caribbean proud wherever I'm going

ABOUT ME

I appreciate a good conversation, going to places I haven't been and having new experiencies. I'm known for being a good eater, I try (almost) whatever they do/eat wherever I go.
I like to party, to hear and dance the music of my roots, and other music I've never heard. Eager to know the everyday life and the nightlife of the places I visit. I can have some drinks and get wasted a couple times in the year. I don't do drugs, never seen cocaine in my life, I don't smoke, and I don't care if you do. Hetero.

PHILOSOPHY

Never complain, see the good side of everything, live as many experiences as I can, to maybe one day tell my grandchildren.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm caribbean and colombian 100% and I live, work and wake up every morning to make this piece of the planet a better place thru my thoughts and actions, despite our fame overseas.

Interests

I'm an industrial designer. I like to create and to know how other people create. I have photography as a hobby. I like to think that I'm not into the mainstream culture. I'm passionate for the Caribbean in everyway (the place I come from).

I use to blog about my trips.

I speak Spanish, some English and some Italian.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Getting to Mompox, a beautiful and ancient colonial city in the Caribbean region of Colombia, a paradise. Also visiting Palenque de San Basilio and Nabusimake, also in the Colombian Caribbean.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know some people and places in the cultural circle of my city and surroundings like artisans, tradition leaders and designers, and I've been out enough in the Colombian Caribbean to give some advice.
