CURRENT MISSION

Explore, learn, and eat the best food

ABOUT ME.

I was born in Peru, but I grew up in Miami. I'm currently a Marine science Phd student at Florida International University. I love exploring new places, from big cities to pristine forests.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed with my two best friends for the first time in Boston and we had a great host and memorable experience.

Interests

I enjoy encountering people with different points of views and engaging in good conversations. Its probably my favorite part of traveling. I love to go to museums, art galleries, and festivals. I'm very outdoorsy which beneficial since I'm an ecologist that works in the Florida Everglades. But whenever I'm not doing research I still enjoy going scuba diving, hiking, or camping.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been skydiving. I also work in a lab that deals with top predators so I'm able to assist with alligators and bull-sharks research and I also research dolphins apart of my dissertation work. I've gone on night hikes through the Costa Rican rain forest, which it might not seem like much unless you have done it (scary stuff) . I've been lucky to volunteer in a South Africa in HIV/AIDS clinic/orphanage.
I hope to continue to witness amazing things everyday.
