I'm originally from Colombia, but I've spent many years living in the US. My journey began when I ventured to Alabama as a cultural exchange student, and that's when my passion for traveling was ignited. From there, I crisscrossed the country, exploring every nook and cranny until I discovered my happy place in Colorado.

My adventures have helped me uncover a myriad of passions, from skiing, hiking, and surfing to diving. These exciting pursuits complement my love for dancing, writing, and embracing the joys of life.

I'd describe myself as an outgoing guy who relishes meeting new people, respects diverse cultures, and knows how to have a great time

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I've got an insatiable wanderlust, and Couchsurfing is my compass to the coolest, most culture-rich experiences on this planet. I'm here to swap stories, surf couches, and create unforgettable moments with fellow adventurers.

Interests

I have a deep appreciation for culture and a thirst for new experiences. Whether I'm wandering through museums, tearing up the dance floor, or skiing down the slopes, I find joy in every moment of life's adventure.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
While I appreciate a variety of sounds, techno music always gets me in the groove and Latin rhythms ignite my soul, making dancing an irresistible urge.

Books:
I'm an avid reader with a soft spot for Latin American literature. Novels by Gabo, Cortazar, Fuentes, and more have a special place in my heart. I also enjoy works by famous European and North American authors. And yes, I admit to indulging in some Harry Potter magic every now and then.

Movies:
I'm drawn to intriguing films like 'Red Sparrow' and other thought-provoking thrillers. Anything that challenges my perspective or keeps me on the edge of my seat gets a thumbs up from me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One remarkable achievement that I'm particularly proud of is convincing my friends to join me for a thrilling skydiving adventure to celebrate my 30th birthday. It was an unforgettable leap of faith that brought us closer together and created lasting memories. It's a testament to my adventurous spirit and my ability to inspire those around me to embrace new experiences.
