About Me

It's not just about meeting a popular place, I like to live amazing experiences! or regulaar experience... actually I really enjoy living the day to day, making the most of the routine

I'm a Chemical engineering grad student in the National University of Colombia, I did some research studies in air quality in Mexico in an internship and now I'm focused in pharmaceutical field, but anyways... kind of nerd.

I'm 25 years old. I like hiking, cycling, going to museums, meeting new places and people, I've been traveling on my own since I was old enough starting with countries like Ecuador and Panama and then Mexico, now I'm in the states in a sabbatical semester looking forward to do an amazing trip in january

Whenever I can help someone I will, gladly. I like talking about science fiction, religion, data science, and cultural stuff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The best thing to do in a new place (besides exploring natural marvels) is getting involved with the culture: the architecture, new languages, food, traditions, and so on. Couchsurfing has been a super useful since it allows me meeting a lot of new people from everywhere, locals or travelers, and getting easier involved with them culture. My very first experience in Ecuador was fantastic, I had the chance to do this amazing indigenous ritual, wich now I could say it's my best experience ever.

In 2016. I spent a month in USA meeting people from everywhere, exploring amazing places, it was fantastic how people was interested in knowing perspectives about my country (Colombia can be super stereotyped, THANK YOU NETFLIX)

I spent a semester in Mexico and I had the chance to join CS communities, knowing how communities work, and all the valuable things that people could offer to us.

Finally I'm visiting some family in California, looking forward for my first visit in Europe (it was time).

Teach, Learn, Share

I like cooking, I could teach you how to cook Colombian food, how to talk properly spanish, maybe english, about engineering?[boooring] well, I admit I'm kind of nerd and I'm very interested in environment.
