ABOUT ME

A Colombian living abroad for quite a while
I am easy going and really like to meet new people and learn about their culture, way of life...
I am willing to share with people and let them know a bit more about our country.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In both senses: couching and hosting. Also we like to show people a different view of Colombia.
I used to host when my place was bigger. Right now, since the space is limited, i can show people around the city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It has been an awesome experience as surfer and host.

Interests

Traveling, knowing different cultures and cultural expressions, reading (lots of reading), sports and movies
Professionally speaking, I am into medical image processing. I work on making medical diagnostic easier by improving the images (X rays, scanners,..).

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Not too much into the Hollywood style. She prefers movies that make you think, although there are some nonsense movies she really likes.
Some of my top movies: Snatch, Back to the future, The life of David Gale, Amores Perros, Todo sobre mi madre, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, the usual suspects.
Books: I love latin american writers (Garcia Marquez, Isabel Allende, Cortazar) and above all my favorite book is Le petit prince.
Music: Music is a way too express your state of mind so anything is good at the right time.
Sports: I love sports not only watching but practicing. Soccer, tennis, jogging, biking, swimming. really into it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skiing at night in the French Alps. The view is AMAZING!

Teach, Learn, Share
