Canadian Citizen - Chinese Blood - Peruvian Heart

I am Chinese, born and raised in Lima, Peru and have lived in Toronto, Canada for almost 20 years.

I'm currently travelling through Europe after leaving my corporate job behind to discover the world, make lifelong friendships, and create a more fulfilling life.

I am very outgoing, always up for an adventure, and love meeting new people, trying new food, hearing new accents, hearing a new perspective about life, finding sights that take my breath away, and creating memories I'll always cherish.

I'm on a mission to learn as much as I can about the world because I believe it will teach me the most about myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To engage in a cultural exchange I would otherwise not be able to have while travelling without CS.

To hear different accents, and learn about life from different perspectives.

To broaden my horizon, engage in memorable conversations, and build meaningful connections.

To laugh, learn, live.

I believe in the power of seeking discomfort (inspired by @YesTheory). I believe that the best moments in life and the best connections are made outside of your comfort zone. Being on CS is definitely pushing beyond what is comfortable for me, which is exactly why I am on it.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love all kinds of music (pop, hip hop, spanish reggaeton, R n B, trap, electronic, house and techno). My fave kind of music is definitely electronic, house and techno. I have been to many festivals and concerts. Would love to hear new music, especially of other languages.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1) Quit my corporate job to travel the world, and create a more fulfilling life
2) Climbed the stairs of the CN tower (the tallest building in Canada - 144 flights of stairs) for charity
3) Found my daycare teacher who took care of me when I was 1 year old in Peru, after 22 years - the look on her face when she saw me was quite indescribable (there were tight hugs and tears involved)

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak fluent English and Spanish. I would love to help you practice either language

I would love to learn about your world and your life

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories of life through my eyes. As well as my company, kindness, compassion, open-mindedness, a different perspective of life, help around the house (if needed Id be glad to help), and hopefully a laugh or two or three :p
