CURRENT MISSION

To learn about other cultures, explore the world, and, of course, have fun doing it!

ABOUT ME

I was born in Peru but moved to Miami when I was about six years old. I recently graduated from undergrad at Amherst College in Mass., where I studied Neuroscience and Russian. I am currently conducting research at Stanford for a while and looking for great people around the area!

PHILOSOPHY

A stranger is just a friend you haven't met yet. And the best way to learn about others is to share a little bit about yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now, I can't host because I am subletting, but maybe when I get my own apartment, I will be able to. But I'm down to hanging out in Palo Alto or going to the city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was introduced to the Couchsurfing experience during a weekend at Ft. Myers in Florida, one of the best weekends I've had in a while. I met great people and had great fun at the beach! We all made our way back to Miami and went out a bit in South Beach, which was really fun. I wish all of them the best in their future adventures!

Interests

I studied Russian in college because I wanted to learn a new language, and it opened a whole culture that I would not have been a part of before. This experience led me to seek out learning other languages and about other cultures, and couchsurfing seems a great way to do it! Currently, I am learning German myself, and hopefully I would love to learn Portuguese and Italian.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm into adventure, comedy, and horror.
My taste in music varies as well, from top40 to salsa.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I couldn't decide between these two:

Russia - I spent a semester studying in St. Petersburg, one of the most beautiful cities in the world. My whole time here was amazing. I loved my time there and it helped fuel my love for learning other languages and cultures.

Peru - I recently went back to Peru to visit family and explore Cuzco. Machu Picchu was one of the most majestic places I have ever been to. I will definitely go back to Peru more often to explore more of what I have missed out.
