Hellooo! I'm Almendra, from Peru :)
I'm currently doing my PhD in Ghent, it is amazing the experiences I've lived so far, and the places I've visited... I really enjoy meeting people, and exploring new places, cities, food!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling, as most here, and I think we all understand that the best experiences come from hanging with locals or people who know the city at least a bit more than you... the fun facts, the hidden gems, or just to talk about life! It's so interesting and refreshing to have a different perspective of life

Interests

I like to try different activities, I enjoy trying new and new things because I think that's the best way of knowing myself. I have tried dancing, swimming, knitting, hiking, skiing... and it doesn't stop amazing me the amount of activities are left to do!

• theater
• festivals
• dancing
• yoga
• reading
• traveling
• live music
• hiking
• skiing
• swimming
• languages
• psychology
• stand up comedy
• visiting new places

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Lalaland, The kid with stripped pajamas, or series as The Office, How I met your mother, The good place...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Uy, I don't know, it could be the very clear and calm water from the sea in Venice that made me cried, or touching snow (a looot) for the first time, or maybe walking in the streets of Ghent...

Teach, Learn, Share

I like teaching, so I've helped with Spanish lessons and dance lessons... about dance, not that I'm an expert, but if you need the basics I'm down for it

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you want to practice (or learn) some Spanish or English! Or maybe some dancing steps, party dance haha, salsa, bachata, reggaeton... or just some company? I like just strolling around the city, or sitting in a good bar just to chat
