About Me

I am an easy-going person, I love to learn, cultivate myself, travel and explore the world. I love learning new languages ​​because they are a gateway to better understand other cultures; know to listen is something really important because we have the ability to connect between living things. I like reading, taking pictures, watching movies, extreme sports, visiting places I've never been, learn about other cultures ...

For me, there are two things that make the difference between being "living" and "being dying" and are learning and pursue our dreams.

Soy una persona relajada, me encanta aprender, cultivarme, viajar y explorar el mundo. Me fascina aprender nuevos idiomas porque son una puerta para entender mejor otras culturas; saber escuchar es algo que tiene la capacidad de conectarnos entre seres vivos. Me gusta leer, tomar fotos, ver películas, practicar deportes extremos, visitar lugares en los que nunca he estado, aprender sobre otras culturas...

Hay dos cosas que para mí marcan la diferencia entre "estar viviendo" y "estar muriendo", y son aprender y perseguir los sueños.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

"Never buy a city map, for without it there is no city, just streets that intersect, and others, obstinate, that don't- becoming dead ends". Jalal Toufic

Couchsurfing is a good way to really know a country. I love meeting new people and getting to know more about the place I'm staying. You get a lot of helpful advice you can't find in the travel books and you get to experience the place as it really is - not just the touristy stuff.

It's difficult to miss a place, if you think about it, you really miss people, sensations, feelings... but not places. With couchsurfing you just don't "see" places, you live it.

Interests

The construction of a better world, cultivate friendships that last the eternity, explore the world, learn, teach, listen, communicate and love.

Cambiar el mundo, cultivar amistades fuertes que duren toda la eternidad, explorar el universo, escuchar, aprender y enseñar.

En cuanto a películas me gustan muchas, mis favoritas son: Into the wild, Eternal sunshine of despotles mind and fight club. En cuanto a libros también me gustan muchos, pero los dividiré en mi novela favorita, el libro de América Latina, la cultura colombiana convertida en literatura y la literatura universal: Las sombras del viento de Carlos Ruiz Safón, Las venas abiertas de América Latina de Eduardo Galeano, Cien años de soledad de Gabriel García Márquez, La luz difícil de Tomás González, Plegarias nocturnas de Santiago Gamboa, Las reputaciones de Juan Gabriel Vásquez, El hombre que amaba a los perros de Leonardo Padura, La broma de Milán Kundera, El principito de Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Lo que el viento se llevó de Margaret Mitchell y Don quijote de la mancha de Miguel de Cervantes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

El proceso de dejar algo que creías tener seguro (al fin y al cabo lo único seguro es la muerte) por algo que sabes que es totalmente incierto.

The process of leaving something that you thought you had for sure (because at the end of the day the only certain thing is death) for something that you know is totally uncertain

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share with you the only and most precious thing that I really have in my life: time. I can show you around the city (if I am not working or studying), makes you taste yummy food, telling you stories about what I've learned traveling and living life :-)
