About Me

I am full of energy and love to make jokes (I smile almost all the time :P). Journalist (yeah, I've worked on TV and believe me, it's no big deal), with a Master's degree in International Affairs, I decided to leave everything to travel around South East Asia.
.
I stopped for some months in Vietnam and saved money again to travel from there til France by land (yeah, Transiberian, etc.). I worked at home again for 8 months, went to Turkey for 2 months, then Spain, where I hosted for the first time.

After quarantine, I went to Turkey one more time, but when I was heading there through Bulgaria, I spent my first 2 nights in jail (WHAAAAAT??).
.
Yep, don't worry :P, it was because of Covid restrictions. Anyway, after that I thought I didn't wanna do tourism around the cells of the airports of the world, so I decided to go back home.

Once in Colombia, I'm hosting again, because I like to feel that I'm still traveling. So if you have stories to share (specially if they are fun), then be my guest!

I'm a storyteller as well! I've been feeding my travel blog, Youtube channel, and its Social Media during all this time. I decided not to put them here, as I am not looking for followers coming from Couchsurfing (and I ask you to please avoid doing it when sending messages / staying, etc.)

At the end of 2017 and beginnings of 2018, I taught English in Vietnam.

(* If you wanna stay at my place, I ask for respect, which for me, means: Not being rude in any sense; not being racist or sexist).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing has been really nice! Meeting people in the place you wanna visit... their culture, their way of thinking, even their political position!! Also, you don't always need a touristic guide. Besides that, you just have to socialize, which is not very difficult for me.

Interests

I love reading, travelling and doing sports. Photography, writing and biking are my passions. I train with trx while I travel.
