About Me

New to this community, I have lived in 3 countries (each for 8 years or more). I love getting to know people of different cultures and ethnic backgrounds -and sharing some of my own life and lessons when appropriate. I'm a good listener and enjoy problem-solving. I am passionate about the Earth and I dedicate a lot of my life to conservation of nature, which I believe is vital for our survival. I'm fun and easy to talk with. I'm conscientious, tidy, clean and polite. I love craft beers! When I travel, I hope to be able to stay with interesting people and share a special moment or two. Craft beer makes me smile.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel quite a bit because I live between 3 countries and I try to find new routes each time. Working in conservation means my salary is low and my big expense each year are my flights. I recently learned about couch surfing and thought this would be a great way to reduce costs of hotels, but also to meet cool people. I also realized I would be able to give back by offering space at my home in the Peruvian Amazon. So those who want to come and visit... bien venido!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Protected more than 6,000 hectares of high risk Amazon rainforest.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can't really cook, but I enjoy doing the dishes. I find cleaning therapeutic, so put me to work. I can share some stories from my time in the Amazon rainforest and I can offer advice on being more environmentally-friendly. A big smile and some fun.
