Old ole Canadian with some South American flavour as my mother is from Bolivia. I am named after the national flower of Bolivia - Kantuta (my mom switched up the spelling a little). Easy-going, love meeting new people and debating over how cold it "actually" gets in Canada.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Have lived in Montreal my entire life, as of Sept 2015 I have been blessed to be living in France. I've lived in Bordeaux and now Strasbourg for my Phd. I am looking to make the most of it by travelling, meeting great people and seeing amazing things!

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't necessary considered the things I do for others as amazing but just being kind and helpful. My personal gem is when I organized a conference for future women in engineering. 110 high school girls attended a one day conference to learn more about engineering as a profession and a study. It was great to see girls fall in love or consider a male-dominated field of study after never really considering it prior to the conference

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach - how to balance a spoon on your nose - soccer (football tricks), Learn - I am like a sponge - Share - my smile
