About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying life as much as possible. Love to travel, meeting new people, and living new experiences!

ABOUT ME

Hello everybody!

I'm 28 years old , I live in Paris but I come from Bolivia (South America). I came to study to Paris when I was 18 years old, and I am currently doing a PHD in History here.
I love hanging out with people, having fun, dancing (I LOVE dancing). I also love meeting new people from all over the world .

PHILOSOPHY

My life's purpose is being happy (and I think I achieved that purpose so far...) and enjoying every experience life brings me. I embrace the future "with arms wide open"!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm not able to host anybody at the moment since I live in a very tiny studio, but I'm glad to meet new people visiting Paris and to share with them my love for the city with tips and company for visiting a museum, going to a bar/club, or just walking in this beautiful city!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm kind of new with the couchsurfing experience, but I met a girl from the US a few years ago and we had a great time while she was visiting Paris.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living and traveling in the US in 2010 and 2014.

Traveling around Europe and some countries of Latin America.

Teach, Learn, Share

Since Spanish is my native language I can teach it to anyone who'd like to learn it.
I also speak French since I'm 4 years-old, so it's like a native language to me!
I'm a historian and know things about the History of Latin America, Bolivia, and France, including the history of Paris.
I'm willing to learn all the cultural aspects of other people's culture (language, music, history, etc.) and experiences.
I'm here to learn from others.
