Engineer, teacher, executive, mother and now enterpreneur. I have worked in private sector, in universities, in non profit sector and also in government as science minister of my country Colombia. I have a great and warm family which includes 3 teens, a baby and a dog.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to expose my children to new cultures and interesting people and offer a warm bed for travelers. I have a great and big house and would be happy to share a coffee with people from all over the world. I offer two sofa beds and two single beds for families. It's always easier to travel when you are young and live alone, but what about families? You don't lose your sense of adventure or your taste for the good food or the new music or the passion for traveling, but it's more difficult and expensive when you have a big tribe. I would like to open my house to these families which will be happy to know the big, interesting, happy and funny Bogotá.
