About Me

I am a life enthusiast who has a serious case of wanderlust. I grew up reading National Geographic magazines and have always had a curiosity about other cultures, other people, other places and a dream to travel. My goal in life is to learn and experience as much as possible and I find that travel does that for me and more. I am from Peru but lived in Virginia for most of my life before packing up my life last year and traveling for 7 months in Southeast asia before coming to Australia. I am also interested in photography, conciousness/mind-expansion, gardening, cooking, reading, etc. I get along with pretty much everyone who has an open mind and is willing to learn new things everyday.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
