Updated October 2023
I have traveled in 28 countries and counting. I just came back to Europe so I hope that people can host me and the most important: teaching me about your culture.
I am from Peru and I love to talk about Peru so you will learn a lot about my country as well.
Traveling was the way how I could see more about myself that I didn’t know that I can do.
It opened my mind more and more and I have learnt that the unlimited thing that we have in life is LEARNING.
We are lucky living in a very diverse world from where we can learn more and more everyday.
I am from a small city in the Peruvian jungle ,being raised there was important to learn about the importance about nature and traditions.
The countries where I have been were in Latin America and Europe I hope that I can go to the other continents soon but no rush, I am really enjoying and I really like to repeat countries where I made friends.
More than saying what I don’t like I prefer to emphasize in stuff that I love. Being more positive in life is what gave me all the incredible people who I have met.
I am a dancer and a an actor, I love nature and architecture, outdoor sports, I can walk for hours, cycling, swimming , cooking and reading (I like to exchange books) .
I have worked in hostels, bars, restaurants and as a language teacher. In the last years I have worked as a masseur as well.
I share my travel photos on Instagram as: @alexdeperu or @alexfromperu and you can share your experiences with photos to share in a travelers account called: @ViajesMochilas
I can give you tips about your trips in the places where I have been. Always happy to help.

Currently living in Portugal.
If you are doing Camino De Santiago in December/January just let me know.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Exchanging experiences with the hosts and showing them about my culture.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met very nice people who host me and who spent time with me chatting and enjoying together a new place. Couchsurfing is a good platform to share experiences.

Interests

Meet people who are interested in meeting other travelers.
I want to learn about new cultures.
Trying , I am not scared about new things. I am those kind of people who jumped into the pool without knowing what is in there so tell me about new stuff and I’ll be there.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading fashion and business magazines, novels and thrillers as well(my favorite is Ken Follet) I like walking and travelling. Movies at home, cooking.
Theatre, music, cinema, landscape, foods, dance, cities, tv,etc.
With books I became very open minded and not having an exactly type. I like mainly having books from local writers so I can see a deep perspective about a place and not a worldwide way.
My new passion is the photography

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Everything that has happened in my life has been amazing. From tropical green mountains in my city in Peru to visit Aztec remains in Mexico City. Meeting new cultures in different countries I visited.
But the most amazing was when I was in front of Machu Picchu and feel the strong power that invaded my body. The second time that I went to Machu Picchu I did a trek for 4 days with no tour. I was camping and walking almost 8 hours everyday.
I swam with sharks in Belize what was my dream since I was a kid. I was crying into the water singing a Moana song while at the same time I was seeing corals.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach portuguese and spanish, I learn music and dance.
I share experiences.
I teach dance too. When I go to party I can dance for hours! I really love to teach and that was what I wanted to be when I was a kid. And I ended teaching different things.
I can teach English now!!!
I want to learn to play the guitar and more about photography.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Experiences and happy moments.
I love to cook so we can cook together or I can do by myself for you. I like to hear as well. The idea is making both feeling comfortable and having a bit from each other.
