About Me

Explore explore explore. Travel as much as I can to recover the time lost during the pandemic. Looking forward to always meet other travelers along the way, even if I don't stay with them.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Santa Cruz, Bolivia surrounded by palm trees, parrots and 80 degree weather all the time. I moved to the States to go to college and now I live/ work in news in Atlanta. I love learning languages, dancing, trying new food, taking pictures and just getting lost in random places that would make great stories. I have two fur babies Meeko and Mila.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't gain the world and lose your soul, wisdom is better than silver or gold

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted some travelers in my DC apartment for a little while, and have surfed in Puerto Rico, Mexico, Italy, and Portugal so far. However, I use couchsurfing for connecting with travelers beyond their couch as well. Have met wonderful people along the way.

Interests

I love to learn new languages, to read, to dance, to cook, and to paint. I also loooove photography and I enjoy hiking, running, and some day I wanna learn how to rock climb, surf and even scuba dive!
