About Me

I am a current full-time MBA Student at Warwick University in the UK trying to visit as many cities in Europe as possible before relocating to Canada next year. Have already completed a few solo-travels using Airbnb that included visits to Central Europe & Scandinavia.

Originally from Venezuela (South America) but have lived in the USA, Canada and more recently UK. Former lawyer & current intern at a Recycling Startup. Value long talks over coffee or wine especially if they teach me something new.

Looking forward to staying at your home this year!

Music, Movies, and Books

Absolutely love any kind of music. Classical was my least favourite until I visited Vienna and met locals who encouraged me to appreciate it more. I used to play piano when growing up, but gymnastics took its space on the schedule... I have been to several modern music concerts, from Coldplay to Paul McCartney, Madonna, Calvin Harris & Dave Matthews Band, to name a few, and love it!!

I like several tv shows and some favourites include "House of Cards" "Halt and Catch Fire" & "Game of Thrones".

I like reading about entrepreneurship, yoga and meditation or anything that I considerate allows me to learn. Currently my readings are focused on case studies, and honestly it hardly feels like studying!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trying to live everyday outside of my confort zone while appreciating the positive things I encounter. I believe in contributing in any way I can to help the world become a better place. Because of this, I assist a Venezuelan non-profit organisation called Yoga en Los Barrios that aims to fight crime through yoga & I am an intern at a recycling startup focused on plastic.

I've also jumped out of a plane - if that sounds more exciting ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I try to keep in touch with the people I meet throughout life. I genuinely think we can learn from everyone if we give us and they the chance. Because of this, I try to be open to the opportunities that life brings.

I started solo-travelling when I was 12 - with summer camps in the USA. I have lived in the USA, Canada & now in the UK. I have stayed in 5 stars hotels to boats & tents. My favourite place would be anywhere close to the water.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Entertaining conversation over coffee or wine.
