About Me

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico. I studied classical ballet and started working professionally as a dancer at 16 years old. After high school and starting a Ba in Art History, I landed a job at the Bavarian State Opera in Munich. So, with 19 years old, I packed all my bags and moved across the world. I like to say that I had a second birth in Germany. I think that living so far away from home, making a life almost from scratch and building new friendships, changes you at double speed and for me it forced me to examine who I really was. it's a journey. We will never really discover everything about ourselves in just one lifetime,but we should always try!

At the moment I'm living in Wiesbaden. I changed dance companies and am more involved in the contemporary dance scene (another huge change). I'm on summer holidays soon and I'm making my first long solo trip to Italy for five weeks. I look forward to meeting the amazing people on the couchsurfing community.

I like interacting with all sorts of people, especially those who are open-minded and critical thinkers. You could say that I am intuitive, respectful, caring, and a bit lazy. :) In other words, I'm a contradictory being who enjoys life all the way. Nothing in life should be done halfway. :)

PHILOSOPHY

Listen to that initial gut-feeling and follow that. It's the truth calling us.
