About Me
Hello! I am a recent college graduate from Los Angeles, CA. My father is French and my mother is Uruguayan. I am now living in Los Gatos, CA and am using couchsurfing to make friends. I love to travel and meet people from different cultures, which has lead me to study anthropology in college. I love to learn and speak different languages and understand the culture of a place through its people.
Some of my hobbies are rock climbing, acro yoga, dance, singing and reading.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I conducted anthropological field work in Roraima, Brazil (the savannah area of the Amazon). I visited and stayed in various indigenous communities and learned about their way of life. I eventually wrote my thesis on the indigenous movement of Roraima. I consider this an amazing accomplishment because I don't know many people who have had the opportunity to get to know indigenous people and their culture the way I have.
