I'm 16 years old and I live in Lima, Peru. My mom is Swedish and my dad Peruvian, and he's the one who showed the surf. I love to surf in Peru in its amazing waves, but I also like to travel and discover new surf spots. I've always been connect to the sea. I grew up close to the ocean, and I've always been doing different water sports. The passion for the surf began when we moved to the north of Peru in the covid time. Since then, I haven't stopped surfing and competing.
