I have a deep interest in learning and assimilating other cultures while I am there. I thrive from interacting with people that want to share about themselves just as much as I would love to share about myself and my experiences. I enjoy hiking, camping, bonfires, beaches, clubs, bars, and anything that will give me a bit of an adrenaline rush! My parents are Colombian born and I was born and raised in New York with very typical Colombian traditions. So, I guess you can say I carry a personal hybrid culture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I graduated in December of 2015 traveled through Europe and Morocco from February through May alone, covering as much as I could while still submerging myself as much as possible in every culture. I visited little towns and ventured off on roads that tourists typically wouldn't frequent. I loved to have people's local knowledge and expertise of the area as I made my way through the continent and I hope I can share the same with others on here.
I am also traveled on a very tight budget, so finding great hosts along the way helped me immensely and I hope to do the same for others! However, if you do not include your social media, I will reject you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Four summers ago, I volunteered in Brazil to help carry out the UN Millennium goals in Florianopolis. I worked with children between the ages of 11-14 and spent two months there. I also had the pleasure of having AIESEC help facilitate the process!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am willing to teach you anything I can about hiking, finances, Spanish, English, and mostly anything computer related except for coding.

I would love to learn about your local culture, language, traditions. Anything and everything you are willing to share!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am more than happy to speak on adventures and tips from my past experiences, attempt to cook a meal for us, talk about investments, and contribute and help in anyway I can.
