penélope plaza

urban artivist, architecture educator and researcher. 

I emigrated from Venezuela to the UK in 2012. 

I love 100% dark chocolate, samphire, arepas, plátanos, aguacate, cider and Venezuelan rum (the best in the world!). I hate coffee (si, soy una venezolana que no toma café) and still need persuading on liking scotch eggs…

I miss the sound of grillos and sapitos in the night.

I don't miss cucarachas voladoras and urban violence.
