About Me

CURRENT MISSION

enjoy life, travel, and learn from different people and different cultures a different point of view, right now I am also interested in learning more about my culture and latinoamerican countries

Me gusta viajar y aprender sobre diferentes culturas y diferentes formas de ver el mundo, me interesa también conocer mas a fondo mi país y latinoamérica en general

ABOUT ME

Well what can I say about me.... I like to travel, seeing new places, meeting new people and learning from different cultures. I am patient I like to smile and laugh a lot and I try to be optimistic (but sometimes is difficult). I am a little shy when I meet new people, but that's only at the beginning. I like to talk but I am also a very good listener

Me gusta la buena musica y me dedico a enseñar a tocar violín en la ciudad del Cusco a niños desde los 4 años, me gusta viajar, conocer nuevas personas y diferentes culturas , bailar, karaoke, y una buena conversación.

PHILOSOPHY

happiness is not about what we have. If you want everything at the end you would loose everything. To be happy you have to learn to say it is enough...
la felicidad no se basa en abundancia, quien en la vida lo quiere todo, al final lo pierde todo, para ser felices hay que aprender a decir me basta...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I can't host but I would like to do it as soon as I can.
I travel and I attend to some meetings, or just hang around for a nice talk and a drink.

Aunque ahora no puedo hospedar me encantara hacerlo tan pronto sea posible. He viajado y participado en algunas reuniones, tambien me interesa conocer gente con la que se pueda pasear y conversar

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing is (for me) more than just a couch to sleep in. It is about to meet local people and learn about them, their culture and their city. It is the greatest way to travel

Couchsurfing (para mi) es más que solo un lugar donde dormir, Se trata sobre conocer a la gente del lugar, aprender sobre sus costumbres y usos y sobre su ciudad sus tradiciones y su historia. Es la mejor manera de viajar

Interests

I love nature and music, I play piano and violin. I like classical music but also pop, rock, salsa, bachata,.... etc. It depends on my mood and the situation. But in general I love music and I am open to listen new styles. I also like reading, playing board games while having a nice conversation.

Me encanta la naturaleza y la música. Toco un poco de piano y violín, me gusta la música clásica pero también pop, rock, salsa y otros géneros, realmente depende de la circunstancia y de mi humor. También me gusta mucho leer y tener conversaciones interesantes ya sea con un café en la mano o mientras se lleva a cabo un juego de mesa
