About Me

Peruvian and lived in Argentina for 13 years. I did travel around the world from April 2016 until December 2018. I like meeting new people and learning the culture of the place through the local eyes. I went back to my former job as a Project Manager in Power Generation Projects, but I realized that I want to continue travelling, so I quit my job in Dec 2019. I will go back to my travels in Jan 2020.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet locals and I like to learn about the town I visit through the local eyes. I am traveler, not a tourist. I am also traveling around the world for at least a year so keep within low budget is key to attain the goal. Thank you for considering hosting me! !!

Interests

I am a mechanical engineer who's also a professional photographer and a sommelier. I went to Buenos Aires, Argentina 10 years ago and lived there. I love to learn about new places and local habits through food and drink!
