I’m Alonso, a 27-year-old architect from Peru who left behind the 9-to-5 to embrace a nomadic lifestyle and discover deeper connections with myself and the world. I’m a firm believer in love, gratitude, empathy, and compassion—values that I bring into every encounter and experience.

Traveling has taught me to find beauty in simplicity and strength in self-discovery. I love nature, hiking, photography, and filmmaking, and I enjoy exchanging stories with people from all walks of life. Life, for me, is about moments that inspire, challenge, and connect us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that the best way to experience a place is through its people. Couchsurfing gives me the chance to connect with locals, share meaningful experiences, and contribute to a global community of open-hearted travelers. It’s not just about finding a place to stay; it’s about building friendships and exchanging cultures.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I embarked on a solo road trip through New Zealand, living the van life while exploring breathtaking landscapes and meeting incredible people. It was a transformative journey that opened my heart and mind in ways I never imagined.

Teach, Learn, Share

• Teach: I can share my photography tips, storytelling techniques for filmmaking, or even some Peruvian recipes if you’re up for a culinary adventure!
• Learn: I’m always eager to learn new perspectives, cultures, and skills. Whether it’s a local tradition, a hidden hiking trail, or how to cook your favorite dish, I’m all in.
• Share: Conversations, laughter, and the joy of exploring the world together.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I bring good vibes, a curious mind, and a deep appreciation for the small things in life. I’d love to share travel stories, cook a Peruvian meal, or create a mini-photo session if you’d like to capture memories of our time together. Most importantly, I’ll respect your space and make sure the experience is enriching for both of us.
