Under the context of developing work in countries of the globalized world, Colombia is known for being a country that accepts international aid. The Colombian experience with this type of cooperation is to adopt and support projects, in the best cases, learn to sustain them independently. This inspires many young people who hope to contribute to the national development. However, it is unusual to find a Colombian far away from home carrying out development projects, even more exceptional, executing international cooperation work in Asia Pacific. In this regard, it is worth asking whether the profile Colombian profile allows working more smoothly or if, on the contrary, the Colombian cultural dimensions generate more than usual misunderstandings and difficulties. In order to provide a positive account, it is presented below the profile of Sofia Pinzón Millán as an example of successful intercultural relations and leadershipof Colombians in the field of development projects.
