I was born in Lima, Peru but moved around my whole life and grew up mostly in Central America and Southern Africa where I was able to experience different cultures, meet lifelong friends and learn languages I studied Sociology and Environmental Studies in Colorado, USA and now I am doing my masters on Linguistics and revitalization of languages in the beautiful city of Amsterdam. I try to travel as much as I have the opportunity and resources to do so. I am always up for having a good time wherever I go and try new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to see the world and get an inside perspective from people living in the places I visit. I want to meet people from around the world.
