About Me

I am a Peruvian biologist about to begin my master's degree studies, so I will soon move to Munich, Germany. I love to travel and meet new people from different backgrounds and cultures; as well as sharing with them about my culture and my country. I believe that my scientific experience has been equally enriched due to the experiences of traveling abroad and spending time in laboratories or scientific meetings. Now I can say that I have a piece of my heart in different parts of the world; from my native Peru to India or New Zealand.

I am a person of easy conversation of which you can talk almost everything, love music and dance (salsa girl!), Love nature and art, cook and I am always eager to learn new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think is important to share experiences with new people and as you help them by hosting or you are helped by being hosted there are a mutual contribution to enrich people's life and share moments. This world has become a place what is difficult to trust and I think couchsurfing is a way to trust in someone you hadn't met before and show you can make the difference.

When I set up in Munich I hope to be able to accommodate people or give a hand at least.

Teach, Learn, Share

Love teaching or answering questions about science and nature. But when I'm doing I am also learning because there are questions I cannot respond and that make search for an answer and ending learning more and more.
