I'm Gabriel, a 27 year old Colombian. I quit my job as a sustainability consultant to travel through South America and it's been an amazing life experience so far! I love adventures and doing and learning new things every day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to know people and specially people from the places I visit so as to share our cultures; get to know theirs and show them how cool my home country also is.

Interests

As i love doing sports and adventures in the outdoors such as hiking, camping and kitesurfing, few things can beat a cup of wine, music and a laugh.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living in Australia for a year, camping for a month through all New Zealand, hiking for 15 days in the middle of nowhere carrying all food and supplies, running for 50 hours straight without sleeping for an ultramarathon race, three half ironmans, spending two weeks in the amazon surviving on just what I fished, climbing to the furthest point from the Earth's core (Chimborazo), scuba diving in the grate barrier reef and in underground caves.
