Born in Lima, Peru but moved to the USA at the age of 7 on the 4th of July (woooo fireworks!) with my family. After Peru I lived in Northern Virginia (Reston) close to Washington, D.C. for about 17 years before packing my things and moving to Europe.

I left the USA sept. 2015 because my career as a creative director no longer fulfilled me and well it was time for some new adventures. So I did what was natural for me at the time and followed my heart.

Arriving in Madrid was the best decision of my life. I did not expect this city to open her arms to me and make me feel right at home. I live and work here as an English teacher for the time being and hope to do so for at least a couple more years. In the meantime when I do have holidays I enjoy traveling to the many beautiful cities in Europe:) Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Need a dance instructor ? well then I am your guy. Been dancing, performing and competing in both Salsa & Bachata for close to 6 years:)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been able to help and guide my friends who have visited the Washington, D.C. area as well as Madrid. There is nothing better then having a local who loves the city (Madrid) show you around or if I am short on time then point you to the best spots around! I think this community is incredible. Helping others makes the world go round:)
