Hi there! My name is Juan Felipe, although most folks just call me Juan. I recently finished grad school in Pittsburgh, PA and moved to NYC a few days ago. I'm originally from Colombia, but grew up in Miami, FL. I'm a chill guy always looking to explore new places, walk in random paths and make new friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A few friends have couchsurfed before and raved about the experience. I'd love to give it a try and meet a few new people and see new places.

At this time I am unable to host people as I live with my partner in a small studio apartment and his schedule makes it difficult to host. Once we get a larger place we'd love to host couchsurfers.

Interests

I love walking aimlessly in cities. What better way to get a sense of place than to explore it on 2 feet. I also enjoy doodling on canvas with a black sharpie. My passion is cities and gardens, so I studied Landscape Architecture and Urban design.

Teach, Learn, Share

My native language is spanish and so I would love to converse in spanish if you'd like to learn or practice.

I'm always open to learning new things and willing to listen to any stories you'd like to share.

Good company, a few funny stories and a language lesson.
