ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Lima, Peru. After high school I did a year of Business school but dropped out because it was not my thing. Then I had a gap year and then did 3 years of Communications at the University of Lima. During my time at uni in Perú, I lived and worked in Tennessee (USA) for a few months and traveled thought out the Northeast coast.

At age 22 I moved to Barcelona to study acting in the beach town of Sitges, in a British drama school. Since living in Spain, I have had the opportunity to live and work in Ibiza, Calella, Paris, Berlin, Frankfurt, London, Liverpool and Edinburgh during my summer holidays.

I finished my Degree last June 2018 and since graduation I have been travelling mostly though the UK for work, and my last month and a half I have been based in Edinburgh working for the Fringe Theatre Festival, which has been an absolute BLAST. Now I live in the Centre of Madrid :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like travelling, so why not give others the chance to know such a beautiful place as Madrid
I think the more you travel, the better you get to know yourself and the more accurate idea of the wold you have, so the harder to believe in stereotypes or prejudices. And the same for the society that hosts the foreigner. So its a win win!

Interests

THEATRE - greek. shakespeare. ibsen. lope. chejov. churchil. labute. gorky. grotowski. and in general any style of performing arts (dance - circus - opera...)
TRAVELLING - Lucky enough to be living my dream of touring Europe. Really interested in Africa and Eastern Russia for the future!
MOVIES - usually drama or suspense
ANIMALS - dogs are at the top of my pyramid but honestly any animals can be an amazing thing to watch/respect.
SPORTS: I try to work out/do exercises at leats twice a week!
