La Di Da Di

I love music -- I play violin and guitar, and am (ever-so-slowly) learning piano. I'm also a phd student in political science, studying latin american politics and GMO regulation.

Soy músico (violin y guitarra) y estudiante doctoral (ciencias políticas). Ahora estoy viviendo en Lima, para mi investigación doctoral acerca de los cultivos transgénicos.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people. In an alternate universe, I am a host at a small, rustic, affordable BandB. Help me live out my fantasy! In turn, I'm happy to share what I know, and what I've experienced having lived throughout the US, and having studied/worked in Peru, Chile, and New Zealand.

Me encanta conocer a la gente del mundo. He tenido la suerte de tener unas experencias muy buenas a traves de couchsurfing. Creo que compartiendo cuentos y experiencias con gente del otro lado del mundo, que te recibe en su casa sin conocerte, es uno de las cosas mas cheveres que existe.
