About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Planting tree seeds in the Atlantic rainforest and seeds of thought in the minds of Paraguayan youth. Plantar semillas de arboles en el Bosque Atlantico Alta Parana y semillas de conocimiento en los mentes de los jovenes paraguayos.

ABOUT ME

Spent a lot of time in college studying sciences and literature mostly. But I got my masters two and a half years ago and have been getting a world class education ever since by traveling and living abroad.

Pasaba mucha tiempo estudiando sciencias y literatura. Hace dos anos y medio que consigue mi maestria y ahora estoy consiguiendo un mejor educacion por viajando el mundo y viviendo en un otro pais.

PHILOSOPHY

Tranquilopa!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Living the glamorous life of a Peace Corps volunteers means that my husband and I live in a place slightly larger than a one car garage and I couldn´t tell you the last time I owned a couch or even saw one for that matter. That said if anyone wants to come out and visit this side of paradise we can accomodate you. That said we are totally new to couchsurfing and are hoping to have a great experience with it in our future travels.

Dado que mi esposo y to somos voluntarios vivimos en una pequena casa en un parte muy remota en Paraguay. No tenemos una sofa, son muy raros aca, pero si hay alguien bastante valiente para visitarnos por favor dale le podemos acomodar. Pero somos nuevos a Couchsurfing y esperamos deseando tener buenas experiencias con couchsurfing en nuestros viajes futuros.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A friend of ours hosted several people and got me interested in the idea. I haven´t surfed yet but having been on the fringes of it it seems like a really great way to meet all kinds of people.

Un amigo de nosotros se hospedo alguna gente y este nos dio el interes en esta organizacion de viajeros. Todavia lo hemos sido huespedes de nadie pero querriamos participar en esta organizacion que parece una buena manera de encontrar nueva gente de todos los caminos de vida.
