About Me

ABOUT ME

I am very easy going, pretty open minded for the conservative country Peru is. I love my friends and don't hesitate to help them when they need me, friends are like extended family to me :) I try to be practical in life. At the same time I am not afraid of making a fool of myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I have mainly hosted and it's been such a pleasure :) I always loved meeting foreigners (maybe because some of my relatives were from abroad) and helping them in Lima whenever I can is fab! I surfed this Dutch dude's couch and the experience was just unreal :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In Couchsurfing we trust :) I think the concept is great and all in all awesome karma!

Interests

I absolutely love watching movies, seriously ANY kind. I listen to music 24/7 and love practicing English. I work with teenagers, which sometimes tests my patience but all in all they make me laugh and savour the simple things in life, I think that's awesome. I love fashion and have a distinctive sense of style. As a hobby, I am a personal shopper to some of my friends, I like helping them to feel good about themselves.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think I can say I have been loved very deeply and have loved the same way as well. I like giving my whole self to my significant other, so love is I think the most amazing thing in life :)
Also when I had rough patches, I discovered that I am a pretty strong woman, I am proud of that too!
Obviously travelling: looking at a beautiful sky, seeing things for the first time :)

Teach, Learn, Share

We need some money to live, but the most important is to have the time to do things that matter. The most beautiful experiences are free or very cheap :)
Travelling is not about souvenirs but the things we live
Let it be all the way
Janis Joplin: Let yourself go and you'll be more than you ever thought of being
Live the moment-carpe diem :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love talking and learning about people and places. I enjoy parties, but there is something super special about connecting with someone else through a conversation about everything: life, experiences, opinions, relationships, music, etc this can be done one on one or a small group. I live my life by having no expectations, so whatever you can offer me, I will be more than happy, seriously :) Of course I will help you with whatever you need as well.
