ABOUT ME
A proud Peruvian Quechua/Ukrainian Americana who enjoys gaining new friends and perspectives. Started couchsurfing during my stint as a Peace Corps volunteer in Nebaj, Guatemala and reconnecting 5+ years later...
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To connect with people living in the places I have the luck of visiting, share my experiences and knowledge of the places I stay at, and to support the sharing and trust economy...
Interests
I love all forms of art - drawing, painting, dancing, great writing, and music ;) I love being outside, admiring nature, and going on aimless walks, hikes, and bike rides, and equally aimless, wandering conversations with new friends. I also love maps: G-I-Yes!
