About Me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was born in Rome as a Couchsurfer in my 20s(!). I hosted many people there and I was hosted too around Europe. Then I went back to Bogotá and oops I did it again there for a while too. Now, many years later here in Montréal, I'm back in business again.

Music, Movies, and Books

Paul Virilio for this kind of topics - Paul Aster - Milan Kundera - Young writers - Haruki Murakami and many others. However, I like more contemporary and modern literature.
All kinds of movies, but I like better independent ones. Also the good and curious stuff of film directors in music videos, video-art and documentary.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Paragliding in Lima, Tikal in Guatemala, hiking in Yosemite National Park in California, San Andres y Providencia Islands in Colombia... being a teacher...I'm getting old and my memory's getting weak.
