Hi there! My name is Mireilla Ramirez, and I’m from Peru. I'm a editorial designer and a self-taught photographer.

When I was in school, my dream was to get a job doing something that I love while traveling the world. Looking for that, in 2011, I got a job as a cruise ship photographer, and since then I’ve been traveling around America, Europe, Africa, Middle East and Asia, being in such amazing places, and making friends from over the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Our world is plenty of wonderful things, nice people and beautiful places that one entire life is not going to be enough to discover all these wonders, so, we don’t have time to waste… is better to live how we want, since now.

This year I decided to start my first solo travel around South America, with the goal of starting a photo project and learning Portuguese, which is why I will stay a couple of months in Brazil, and then visit the rest of the continent.
