ABOUT ME

I'm a mellow and easygoing half Peruvian, half American chica married to a Syrian with a bad sense of humor.

I can't hear very well, but I am crazy about other languages. The kicker is that my three siblings, all of whom can hear well, refuse to speak Spanish.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Falling asleep in the middle of the desert. Eating northern Peruvian turkey (it's that good).

Genuine smiles are always amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like listening to people talk about politics (although I am usually quiet when I listen). I'm interested in learning how to cook South American cuisine, and carpentry. I'd love to build a house someday.

One of my goals in life is to actively teach about the Middle East.
