Expertise

I`m a 42-year-old colombian with a thirst for travel. I`ve managed to travel through good portions of this complex but fascinating country and could provide advice on destinations, special care, hazards, prices and highlights. I`ve also traveled throughout a part of Central and South America, Australia, Europe and North America, so I think I could provide some balanced advice, avoiding nationalistic hype but also pointing out some particular, unique charms of this unusual land.

Experience in the area

Telecommunications engineer, Web page programmer, local FM Radio programmer, Media Communications academic, amateur photographer.

Education/Credentials

Electronic Engineer. Masters in Communications. PhD Candidate in Communication. I speak Spanish, English, French, Portuguese and a bit of German.
