***I'm fully vaccinated against COVID-19***

I'm an audiovisual journalist, but also an actress and a teacher. I love meeting new people while doing social or voluntary work, that's what I'm trying to do with my life right now.

I'm currently living in Tanzania, I have co-founded an NGO that works with community-driven storytelling to tell stories about nature and culture made by the people that lives in those territories.

I love learning new things, but at the same time I love sharing and teaching anything I can. I don't use this platform that much, but I think it's a good way to meet new people and learn about cultures, and maybe make some future travel buddies.

Yeah, the word "love" it's really used on my profile, you can call me hippie, but I love life and I live for love (not romantically, I just like sharing my love and happiness with the world).

If you want to know more about me, you can find me on social media like @vanesarmiento97
