I currently live in Kiel, Germany until August when I will move back again to Poitiers- France. I am an Erasmus Mundus master student in Applied Ecology. I lived in Bogota, Colombia 1 year and before in Ecuador 5 years where I studied my bachelor and lived with my family. Now I am discovering and enjoying Europe as much as I can before going back to South America to work on conservation of nature.

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life and contribute to nature and wildlife conservation // Disfrutar la vida y cuidar la naturaleza.

ABOUT ME

Me encanta viajar, conocer lugares, gente e historias.. Me encanta cocinar y para mí compartir comida y mesa es de las mejores maneras de forjar vínculos verdaderos y conocer a las personas. Consciente de que no todo en la vida es trabajar y estudiar, también aprovecho cualquier oportunidad para divertirme y salir de fiesta jeje.

PHILOSOPHY

Follow the natural rhythm of flow. Don't force stuff. Have an objective and follow it by committing with it but living and enjoying the present. Love and accept yourself. Respect nature.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel a lot, and I enjoy like to met people from everywhere, share, and contribute with other travelers. I d like to know people and get involve in cool events from having a coffee and parties to journeys and field trips.

// Viajo mucho, me gusta conocer gente de todas partes, compartir y colaborar con otros viajeros.

Interests

Natural sciences, ecosystem management, sustainability, marine and coastal ecology. I love being outside, enjoying nature and landscapes. I am currently discovering meditation and the power of living in the present.
