About Me

CURRENT MISSION: Achieve work-life balance. Reconnect with my passions. After several month of hard work and long hours at work I have decided to take a break, heading to New York and East Africa in November 2025.

ABOUT ME: Environmental engineer that loves outdoors! Enjoy hiking, traveling, meeting new places, destinations and people. Passionate for sustainability and travel. Like to try new restaurants, visit new places and meet new people. Also into the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion topics.

I am a patient and tolerant person, relaxed, and always looking for new experiences. Cleaned and organized and enjoy either simple/shallow conversations as deep and academic.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people from around the world, with different ideas, ways of living, and different taste in all ways makes the CS experience amazing!

Interests

Love the idea of a nice café and dessert. Going to "ciclovía" in Bogotá. Watching series and documentaries while having pizza. Going to the movies and the mountains. Love family lunch meetings. Getting to know new places and people. Have different conversations from the regular "how's it going".
