Description

Hello wandering spirits,

I am a lover and a dreamer who craves knowledge, adventure, and genuine connections!

One day when I was a child living in rural Maine, USA, my mom randomly told my siblings and I that we would be moving all the way across the country to (a different country) Tijuana, Mexico. I remember being in disbelief! I had never left the east coast. What was a shock at first, turned into some of the best years of my life. Its a longer story, but we lived there happily for several years, learning about the vibrant culture, food, and customs. Most importantly, making meaningful friendships and connections with our neighbors. I think I was born a free spirit, but this is where my love for adventure really started to blossom.

Years later, I still crave the unknown. I have since lived all around the US, and am slowly adding stamps to my passport. I also consistently travel all over Mexico. I love to explore a place that is so close to my heart.

I love meeting new people, trying new things and having new experiences. I am fascinated by the world, and there is so much of it to see! I am constantly looking to grow and expand as a person. I believe making ones world bigger brings us all closer together.

I am an artist and creator. Bringing things into existence thrills me. I love to work with my hands, whether its crafting jewelry and clothes, baking, painting, knitting, growing plants, etc. I absolutely love nature. It gives me life. I try to be surrounded by it as much as possible, and enjoy finding ways of feeling more connected to the earth. I love to hike and walk! I am delighted to try the fruits of a new region, and learn of new types of plants, trees and flowers. I have a great love for animals, and am also very happy surrounded by them.

Among many reasons, I want to spend time in Peru specifically because my father is Peruvian. He was born in Chaclacayo, but I also have family in many parts of Peru, including Huacho and Chincha. My dad migrated to the US in his 20s, but he is a proud Peruvian and taught me to be proud as well. I long to find deeper connections to my Peruvian roots, and I am excited to meet and learn from others.
