CURRENT MISSION

Living the moment.

ABOUT ME

It is very hard to talk about one's description.

Back home we have a saying: "de lavar y planchar", literally it means "of washing and ironing" and it means someone is easygoing and will always be handy, any time. I dig that.

Trust for me is the most important asset in life, and once is gone, its gone. I am very passionate about things, (specially football and politics as a tool of real transformation) being my fuel for life.

I have an amazing urban collective back home, called Combo 2600 (http://combo2600.com/) in which we do tactical urbanism and organize debates around city planning.

PHILOSOPHY

Live the moment, do what you love, get lost and explore that thing no one else is interested about it. Most important thing in life: break paradigms.

Don't talk bullshit, just do what you love and be happy. Show yourself what you are capable of doing, don't say it with words but with actions.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I can, receiving surfers. When I can't, meeting people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Still non, but looking forward to it. Either surfing or couching.

兴趣

Politics as a real social transformation tool. Football (the real one, not american one). Cities and maps, all the history behind them and how they really shape the way we develop as social animals. Biking, both inside and outside the city, undoubtedly it is the best way to move around, looking after the environment, having a better use of time and good for your health. By far, the most important: travel by taking the road less travelled.

Rather than teaching I can share opinions on southamerican and specially colombian politics and recent history. Im also very much into football and how shapes cultures and beliefs. Urban planning and ins influence in our societies. I like very much to see how people understand their city and environment.

I can also explain the basics of spanish and chinese culture. But most important of all, is to learn. Always to learn something new with humility and doubt.
