About Me

I'm a buscavida! Jajajaja at least that's what my boyfriend calls me. My brother calls me a gypsy nomad..... I am always looking for new experiences and new adventures. Right now I am focused on improving my Spanish so can get a job at an International NGO or foreign aid group. I just moved to Spain from Peru and I am looking to meet new people and network here in Madrid.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This ones hard for me...nothing stands out.....maybe if it said one stupid thing I've done...but then I'd have too many.....I moved to Taiwan after graduating my masters program 4 years ago and have been living abroad ever since. I went to Alaska last summer and worked 16-18 shifts in a salmon cannery with a bunch of methheads, Somalians, and gangbangers, I ran a marathon in Taipei without any training and hurt my knee, I tried San Pedro in Peru and vomited my guts out before tripping my balls off.....

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not sure what this means but I guess I will tell you to youtube Sacred Geometry or watch the zeitgeist docs if you haven't already
