ABOUT ME

I'm Peruvian, Fulbright Scholar, currently enrolled in an MA Program in Sustainable International Development, in Brandeis University (Massachusetts). I love travelling, meeting new people and visiting new places. Sort of a wanderluster, but with my two feet on the ground.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swim in La Laguna Azul, in Tarapoto, Perú. Amazing! I was surrounded by mountains all covered with vegetation, and I could hear the noises of the animals.. It was fantastic!
Staying in a lodge in the middle of the jungle, in Iquitos, Perú. I participated in a lot of excursions, ate delicious traditional food, fished pirañas, swam in the river, with lizards! ok, they were baby lizards, but still.. and I saw the pink dolphin, an endangered specie. I absolutely loved riding in the peke-peke with the locals..

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make pisco sour, it's a traditional peruvian cocktail, and some typical peruvian plates (peruvian food is famous worldwide!). I also love talking about my country, and wouldn't mind trying to teach spanish!
