CURRENT MISSION

I recently created this group for musicians, composers, producers and such in case you are interested: https://www.couchsurfing.com/groups/98889.

ABOUT ME

Male, 27 years old, easy going. I have a daughter that I don't live with. Born and raised in Bogota, Colombia. Finished high school in the US. Went to college in Buenos Aires. I enjoy good company and will be nice and polite to company that's not. I am definitely a brunch type of person, especially now that I'm trying Intermittent Fasting (you should too).

I try to keep life in balance. I put Tofu on my Steak. I'll go hiking and come back for lunch at Burger King. I listen to Gangsta Rap at the gym thinking it'll help me lift heavier weights.

I work in the colombian music industry. I produce mostly up-and-coming artists at a recording studio and manage a couple more. Worked as a TEFL teacher in Argentina for a while. I taught toddlers music at a Summer Camp in San Diego last year.

I could tell you a lot more about myself but, what are we gonna talk about when we meet?

PHILOSOPHY

God comes first. Family second. Music is my passion. Debating controversial topics is one of the things I do best (HA!). I am a pretty thoughtful guy but I will always share what's on my mind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host whenever I'm home. I'm also looking for couches in Europe, Asia, South America and the USA. Hoping to get to know world citizens who believe in no frontiers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted and surfed several times. Usually, as long as communication and conditions are clear you're good to go. I've made great friends all around the world along the way!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I visited Isla Grande in Panama, an island with no roads, cars, phones or television. Great place for a REAL getaway. Hopefully going back some day.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll be able to compose a song for you while you're here or help you through the process of composing your own. I love live music and festivals so if you're interested in that we might hit a spot or two.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Spanish unofficial and uncertified lessons (Ha!). I make an extremely delicious tomato soup.
