Overview
About Me
IF YOU WANT TO SING OUT, SING OUT
I'm a reckless traveler, cultural anthropologist, a little bit Italian, a little bit Latina, a little bit a general European mix. I've been living in Berlin for the past three year, working on social projects with homeless people and refugees. I now want to move to a different exciting sector!
I've traveled as much as I could since I was a teenager and want to travel much more.
I love nature, genuine human connections and good conversations.
I'm a big fan of human beings.
I like riding my bike—especially without hands.
I love hiking.
I love dancing cumbia, salsa, and reggaeton.
I'm passionate about human rights and engage in activism against gender-based violence, colonialism and capitalism.
I like beaches with trees and swinging in my hammock.
I enjoy reading, drawing, and painting with watercolors.
I like people who are passionate about something—whatever it may be. Even if the topic itself doesn’t interest me, I’ll love seeing the light in your eyes when you talk about it.
Thank you for reading till here. If you don't write anything that would make me understand you read my profile in your request, the chance that I will accept it is extremely low.
What's below from here is not very important, BUT make sure to READ THE HOME SESSION (click where it says "Accepting guests") before you send the request. I will know if you did.
