About Me

I'm not good at writing about me, all that comes to my mind right now is just that I am a open minded, intelectual person looking to know a lot of people, listen to their stories as I travel the world.

I'm an open book so if you have any questions feel free to ask.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Tough question LOL. Well, I think I'm for the same reason as almost everybody on this community: A free place to stay for the night while travelling this amazing world and also to socialize with people from around the world, be able to have a nice conversation with people that you don't really know about culture, food, travel stories, get valuable information about the places that you are planning to visit, information that sometimes you can only get from locals and maybe even find new friends. Well, maybe not everyone is here for that reason after all. LOL
But I am! :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to listen rock in any language, I just love it :D and in contrasting this genre I also love classic music specially anything from Chopin.
I don't have a favorite movie, but I love to watch samurai movies.
My favorite book with no doubt is Robinson Crusoe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't if it's amazing, it might be stupid and reckless instead but I hiked 25 miles through the mountains in colombia with nothing else than a banana and a bottle of water.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some colombian cuisine.I'm really good at teaching languages, specially spanish.

Learn? let's see.... I want to learn everything! that's pretty much the whole purpose of travel: To learn, at least for me it is. I'm specially interested in learning anything related to Japan.

Share: Stories and experience gained while traveling. That's probably the most valuable thing that a traveler has to give in my opinion. I have quite a bit of fun stories, I can't wait to hear yours!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a sofa, some travel stories and if you're lucky a good cup of colombian coffee , a real good cup of colombian coffee not what starbucks sells you for colombian coffee and the speciality of the house: scrambled eggs. The reason why I say if you're lucky about the coffee is because I get it directly from Colombia.
