Before you read about my professions or titles, I want you to know that above all, I am a human being just like you, eager to connect, learn, and share. I firmly believe that the true essence of Couchsurfing lies in this deep, human, and multicultural exchange. We are all humans first, and that is the most valuable thing we can share. Right now, I am exploring Europe completely solo! I am embarking on this adventure carrying my country in my heart with a lot of pride and love. Music is my absolute passion, and it is the beautiful force that has allowed me to travel, cross borders, and discover the world. Thanks to music, my world has expanded, and I'm here to keep growing. I actually come from the cold, high mountains of Boyacá, Colombia. I live 3,000 meters above sea level, in the coldest city in my country (where we don't have weather seasons like here!). Arriving in Europe and running straight into the summer has been an amazing experience, but wow, it is incredibly hot for someone from the high mountains! 🥵☀️ I am a kind, outgoing, and open-minded person, always curious to learn. Back home, I have hosted many travelers from all over the world because I love learning from what people can bring into my life. I’m not much of a party person, but I deeply value meaningful conversations and connections that leave a lasting mark. 🌿 Nature & Adventure I come with total respect and love for nature. I find deep inspiration in hiking through mountains and exploring waterfalls, lakes, rivers, and beaches. Camping, gathering around a campfire, and gazing at the night sky bring me absolute peace. 🌌🏕️ I adore sunrises and sunsets, whether catching them from a mountain peak or by the seaside. I also cherish quiet moments, like savoring a good cup of coffee and experimenting with healthy recipes. ☕🍳 🎶 My Creative Soul: Musician, Actor & Dreamer 🎭🎻 Music and art are how I express my soul, and yes—my trumpet and recorder are traveling with me on this adventure! For me, music is the most precious gift the cosmos gave us, and it has been my passport to meeting incredible people and experiencing different cultures. I am a licensed Music graduate and a Symphony Orchestra Conductor. I pour my heart into teaching trumpet, singing, piano, guitar, and music theory. I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to conduct symphonic bands and orchestras, and currently, I also play in a mariachi group, sharing the richness of Mexican music. 🎺🎼 Alongside music, I’m an actor. I’ve starred in short films and appeared in music videos—experiences that have greatly enriched my artistic perspective. I also love dancing, as I believe movement expresses what words cannot. 🕺✨ 🏋️‍♂️ Sports & Wellness I stay active by practicing swimming, yoga, calisthenics, volleyball, basketball, ultimate frisbee, and tennis (both table and lawn tennis). I’m knowledgeable about nutrition, practice meditation, and actively maintain a healthy lifestyle by avoiding sugar. 🍏🧘‍♂️ 🎥 Cultural Interests I love reading, enjoying good cinema (especially sci-fi, drama, and movies based on true stories), and watching science documentaries. I listen to all kinds of music and am constantly looking for new sounds and stories that inspire me. ✨ My Philosophy I am deeply convinced that Couchsurfing is much more than just a place to stay; it’s an opportunity to build transcendental, lifelong friendships. If you appreciate honest conversations, live music sessions, or exploring magical spots, I’d be thrilled to share the path and share a bit of my Colombian essence with you. 🎵 Let’s teach, learn, and create unforgettable memories together!
