I'm a passionate veterinarian currently living in Paris while doing my masters in Public Health. My family is Italian but I was born and raised in Peru, so I consider myself Peruvian! I've travelled quite a bit around South America and Europe and I love getting to know people, sharing experiences and learning from different cultures :)

I love food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've travelled quite a bit around Peru and visited even the smallest town. I can tell there's a HUGE difference between a paid tour to Machu Picchu and getting lost through the Andes in a 4x4... I enjoy showing my country to other people! I believe staying with locals is the best way to get to know the place!

Interests

Travelling, learning, going outdoors.

Music, Movies, and Books

I really liked The Wayfinders and The Great Acceleration (this one is more geeky).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Tagging sharks from a sailing boat in South Africa, follow the Dakar Rally, meet the Prince of Monaco, getting lost in several European cities, sleep outside the bus station in La Paz (snowing), name lakes in Peru, finish vetschool alive.

Teach, Learn, Share

Peruvian Spanish slang, my passion for the environment and its creatures and some Peruvian cooking and cocktails (Pisco Sour!)
