Hi there! I'm a 25 year old graphic designer, english teacher and cooking enthusiast from Colombia. I love discovering the world by other people's eyes, making friends and knowing different cultures by sharing what I know about my own culture, my city and my country is a truly inspiring experience for me

STUDIES
I graduated from University of Nariño with a degree in Graphic Design and certificates in Neurolinguistical Programation, Emotional Inteligence, Educative Innovation, Environmental facilitation, Swimming lifeguard and Teaching English Level A1.

Currently I'm studying a master in Design and Innovation at DeMontfort University, in Leicester UK

INTERESTS
I love teaching english, participating on cultural projects about territory and ancestral heritage, specially related to traditional food, neuroscience, art, history, mystery stories and innovative initiatives around the world.

I really love The Beatles, my favourite band ever, I'm excited to know every place they mention in their songs. I enjoy swimming, making friends, having meaningful discussions, learning about different languages and countries, designing, drawing, hiking, cooking and experimenting new recipes, new routes, new skills and new challenges

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I knew about couchsurfing during a work trip in the USA three years ago, but I start using it recently, and I need to say that is one of the best experiences I've lived. I'm convinced that this is a safe place, an answer against savage capitalism where people from all over the world help each other without thinking about money, just being kind.
