About Me

Key things to know about me:
I am constantly falling in love with stories, pizza and coffee. My friends consider me to be very chill and easy going.
I was born and raised in Lima, did my bachelors in the UK and then moved to Hong Kong for a year.

I'm an urban-adventure enthusiast but nature is also dear to me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I generally enjoy meeting new people, helping out and sharing, whether it's food (see below), experiences or insights, I am open to a lot of things.

I enjoy hosting people but if literally the only thing you need is a place to crash and drop your stuff for free you better find other ways.

Interests

I'm interested in street photography, dancing, cycling and experimenting a lot with cooking - mostly doing fridge leftovers magic ;)

I am also very keen on learning languages, travelling and finding more and more ways of living an environmentally and socially responsible life.

  • books
  • dancing
  • board games
  • cycling
  • bike polo
  • language exchange
  • vegetarian cooking

Music, Movies, and Books

Favourite movies: Cinema Paradiso, Terminator 2 and Big Fish.
Favourite authors: Oscar Wilde
I have an incredible list of books pending!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've skydived three times while I was at university, twice by myself. Second time I did it I was actually nervous because I knew what was coming!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a pretty good language teacher, so if anyone needs help with Spanish (or English!), feel free to reach me.

Also, as I mentioned above I love experimenting with cooking but I especially enjoy sharing it. I may not be the best cook when it comes to Peruvian food but I do make delicious quiche, moussaka and falafel. I think my ceviche is more than decent though.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to share meals and stories with hosts and guests!
