I am Claudia Vanesa, from Lima-Perú and I am a performance artist.
I started to travel alone when I was really young, since then I haven't stopped. I have been working on ONGs while I develop my work independently.
I love to share peruvian culture and I consider myself a great ambassador of our foods, music, dances and other traditions.
I want to share experiences and to learn from your culture as much as I want to teach you my own world.
I love to learn new languages and abilities, so please, surprise me.
We won't get bored
(:

Wanna hear me singing? Here's a video introduction I made for a residence in NY: https://vimeo.com/256190110

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to keep exchanging knowledge with people from other cultures.
I adore to share experiences, to learn languages, to hear and tell stories.
I believe that we need to talk, sing and dance more.
I want to learn from places by meeting people.

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

The pan's labyrinth is my absolute favorite film. But I am really into experimental videoart, or non-ficction experimental films.
I mainly read about theatre and arts, but I am also very much into sociology.
I adore every kind of music, my body just can't stop feeling the vibrations. I love to sing, so I love to learn songs very different from the ones I already know.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have worked in ONGs in Argentina and Brasil, teaching theatre to kids from 8-12 years old.
It made me who I am now, I learnt to live with volunteers from all over the world and then I became addicted to cultural exchanging.
I arrived into Río de Janeiro and I didn't knew portugues at all, In two months I was carioca already. Saudades.

I have also traveled to many theatre festivals in Colombia, Chile, Brasil, México and inside Perú.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach spanish.
I WANT TO teach you everything about peruvian music, dances, traditions and food!
I want to learn everything you want to share with me. I would love if we could make music together.
Let's go out, I love every possible cultural activity.

What I Can Share with Hosts

First of all, I am extremely sharing. I am sure we could have a great time, have the most hallucinating conversations and ideas together. I think life is all about looking into others eyes and to exist in the most authentic way. For me, that's possible through art and honesty, vulnerability.
Anyways, it would be amazing to meet.
