Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Making it through what's in front of me, preparing for what's ahead.
ABOUT ME
I grew up in Peru, and have spent most of my adult life in the States, and I've always been travelling, sometimes only in my imagination. I've found a place and work I love, and am enjoying it.
PHILOSOPHY
"What doesn't kill me only makes me stronger." "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye." "This life is given to us for repentance; do not waste it on vain pursuits."
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I provide a place for you to crash. Maybe sometimes I look for a place to crash.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've spent most of my thousands of nights traveling being hosted by friends or family, usually on their couch or equivalent. I've lived years of my life with no real home, spending several months at a time with friends (who always invite me back!) so I'm rather a veteran couch surfer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I rode my motorcycle 14,000 miles around the USA one summer. I rode my bicycle 40 miles to a 10,000ft mountain, climbed it, and rode back home all in one day. I designed and built a complete electronics system for my bicycle: generator, batteries, lights, accessories. I rode my bicycle 4,000 miles around Mexico.
