Über mich | Hi! My name is Valeria Centeno, I am a 19 year old Venezuelan who decided to leave her home in order to be able to study in the other side of the world. When it comes to my studies I consider myself pretty responsible, but for the other aspects of my life not so much. I am a very athletic person and my favorite hobbies are kitesurf, aerial silks, and working out in the wilderness. I might seem a bit shy as a first impression, but don't think I am angry or something like that! Don't doubt on sending me an email or even maybe approaching me for any type of questions regarding the uni or your student life; I will always be pleased to give you a hand. See you guys around! |
