I'm pretty Canadian-ized, having lived in Toronto half my life and Montreal another chunk. But I'm originally from Peru, and still have my Spanish + a blend of both cultures. A lot of family and friends in both regions keep me connected to all the different roots.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's awesome. Should've been here a long time ago.
