About Me

I am a very spontaneous, cheerful, and motivating person. I love everything related to the sea, swimming, and diving, but I also enjoy visiting big cities. You will find in me a very calm, honest person who is always willing to learn from every trip and every person I meet.

I enjoy listening to people's stories, drinking coffee and wine, and trying all kinds of food. I am very clean and respectful in every place I visit. I am also an Event Producer and Advertiser, which has allowed me to manage my travels.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here because, through my travels, many friends have recommended it to me, and I believe it is time to use this platform to continue building a global network of contacts, friends, and great experiences.

I am here because I want to meet friends and families with good energy and big hearts.

Music, Movies, and Books

I actually listen to all kinds of music, but salsa is in my veins. I can enjoy cumbia, bachata, electronic, reggae, rock, and even hip-hop—a little bit of everything.

Some of my favorite movies include Forrest Gump, Saving Private Ryan, Interstellar, and Gladiator.

When it comes to books, I really enjoy literary novels such as The Day of the Jackal, The Black Cat, The Raven, and Love in the Time of Cholera.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I actually think I have had many amazing experiences, but I will share the ones that, for me personally, have been incredible.

The first one took place in Valle del Cauca, where we climbed the Farallones de Cali, a mountain over 3,600 meters high. This adventure took us an entire day, camping halfway up the mountain, almost on the edge of a cliff. When we reached the summit, the sky cleared, and we could see the Pacific Ocean on the horizon. It was a truly beautiful and peaceful moment, despite the exhaustion that everyone in the group felt.

The other unforgettable experience happened recently in Playa del Carmen, where I had the chance to dive into a cenote more than 10 meters deep. Remembering that experience, seeing the majesty of the cave and its depth, was absolutely incredible. I spent the whole day there, trying to go deeper and deeper. It was truly an amazing feeling—both what my body experienced and what my eyes could see.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make cocktails, mix electronic music, and create 2D and 3D animations, as well as video editing, graphic design, photography, and web design.

I’m also eager to learn whatever you’d like to teach me. I can share my experiences, spread joy, and always bring the best energy!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will always bring the best energy, respect, enthusiasm, motivation, and a willingness to help with household tasks like cleaning or even preparing dinner. I really enjoy cooking!
