My cousin, Lorena, and I are extremely close but we have not seen each other in 4 years. Lorena has been living in Lyon for a year and I'm finally going to visit her. Together, we want to explore Paris!

We are both Dominican, so we speak Spanish. We also studied in the U.S. so we speak English fluently. I've studied French for many years, but never really practiced, so I'm looking forward to speaking it!

Lorena is finishing her studies of philosophy and French in December. I graduated university last May with a degree in Chemistry.

We are very easygoing and flexible. We love to learn and explore. We think it's important to note that we are very respectful in other people's homes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet people from around the world and learn about different cultures! It's so interesting to see the differences geography can impose on someone's lifestyle.

That said, Lorena and I would love to be hosted by someone who is familiar with the area and who is able to give us guidance on things to do. We appreciate the non-touristic parts of cities, and we want to meet local people who can expand our cultural experience.

Interests

FOOD! Local stories, politics, philosophy, music, books, history of places, nature.
