Hi all! I moved to a house where I cannot host people. I'm sorry!!! (Updated July 2018)
However, I'm up for just meeting or advising about Syracuse, CNY, or Peru. Also, if you want to grab a beer/coffee, or go hiking.

I am an international student at Syracuse University; I'm currently doing my Ph.D. on adapted physical education, trying to enhance physical activity among people with disabilities.

My passion? Taekwon-Do. I'm a 4th black belt degree! I train Mon-Wed-Fri, you are welcome to join for my training or the classes I teach.

Hobbies: Talking to people from other cultures so I can learn about their cooking, reading, exploring new places, and learning new languages

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a host --> I met people thanks to Couchsurfing (CS). I hosted five girls from different countries in my old house. I also hosted several Peruvians (friends, family, and friends of friends). I try to provide a safe and comfortable environment. I like to share Peruvian treats (when I have stock), or cook! Sharing food and culture is one of the benefits of CS.

As a surfer --> I have never stayed with someone through CS. I am looking forward to meeting new people and cultures.

Interests

I like sports, in fact, I'm 4° Dan Taekwon-Do ITF, and I train and teach here in Syracuse.
I'm kinda geek; I love WoW, GoT, and good reading!
I love to dance latin music; if you are up for dancing or want to learn some moves, we can go to one of the best places here.
Did I mention that I LOVE to eat? yes, any food-related experiences... I'm in!

Music, Movies, and Books

Not reading a book for the moment, just articles for my dissertation! the last one I read was in June 2018, The martial art Way, very interesting way of describing how the martial arts have been changing with the years.

Favorite movie --> Jurassic Park/World OMG!! I love dinosaurs

music: love Linkin park, blink 182, Limp Bizkit, Pedro Suarez-Vertis,

GoT! if you don't like Game of Thrones, you won't understand many of my quotes!
