Constantly trying to dream without sleeping !
I'm a translator and interpreter and currently working as a communicator in a sustainable NGO based in Lima, Peru. Passionate about doing all I can to make this world a better place, little by little.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love that Couchsurfing is based on trusting each other, sharing, enjoying life together. That's really how I want us to be as a human community and I've had amazing experiences with everyone I met through cs. Eager to keep giving this back and discovering more places !!

Interests

Creating and learning !! I am into many forms of art (drawing, painting, photography, film-making, dancing, etc etc), which I see as a powerful trigger for change. I love spending time in nature, hiking, horse-riding, gardening, I'm always very willing to learn more about it. Lately I've been learning and doing a lot of urban organic agriculture.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Viajar es marcharse de casa
es dejar a los amigos.
Es intentar volar.
Volar conociendo otras ramas,
recorriendo caminos, es intentar cambiar.
Viajar es vestirse de loco, es decir "no me importa",
es querer regresar.
Regresar valorando lo poco, saboreando una copa,
es desear empezar.
Viajar es sentirse poeta, escribir una carta,
es querer abrazar.
Abrazar al llegar a una puerta
añorando la calma,
es dejarse besar.
Viajar es volverse mundano, es conocer a otra gente,
es volver a empezar.
Empezar extendiendo la mano,
aprendiendo del fuerte,
es sentir soledad.
Viajar es marcharse de casa,
es vestirse de loco
diciendo todo y nada en una postal.
Es dormir en otra cama, sentir que el tiempo es corto.
Viajar es regresar.

- Gabriel Garcia Marquez
