Hi! I am an easy going person looking for flexible and friendly people to cross paths with. I was born and raised in Lima, Peru until age 18 and then I lived in Pennsylvania, US (mostly Philly) for 9 years. I loved to Barcelona almost two years ago for a master’s in sustainability. I now teach English but am looking to start a PhD program in urban sustainability and political ecology. I enjoy meeting new people and seeing places through other people’s eyes. I’m into riding bikes, eating, dive bars, live music, walking a lot, running, plants, and swimming. I’m an intersectional feminist and ecologist and am always trying to learn more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Im on couch surfing to get to know new people and have a better understanding of the places I visit. I’m a little burnt out on Airbnb culture (although I do take that route sometimes) and prefer staying with people who know the area. I don’t expect to spend all my time with a host but it’s nice when there is some mutuality and sharing of experiences.
