Hi there! My name is Shiney. Water is my element, the beach is my place, and I love traveling. I was born and raised in Peru, then I moved to the U.S, went to school and now Im currently traveling South America. I consider myself open minded, energetic, a good listener, enthusiastic, compassionate with a caring heart. Kids, animals, and books make my life happier. I practice vipassana meditation and I'm very into holistic healing practices like therapeutic tarot, reiki... I speak fluently English and Spanish. It would be fun to practice some language! Meditation, and its a huge part of my life. I like arts, plants, interacting with people, learning about new cultures, and most importantly creating long term friendships. I'm very into Psychology, spirituality, arts, music, yoga... one of my dreams is to write a book.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Life is a constantly learning process, and I think couchsufing is that place where one of the most valuable things we have are possible. GIVE AND SHARE. I am here because I am one of those souls who believe in kindness and compassion, and of course, fun!!
