About Me

Hard to say, maybe you can tell me :)
Easygoing, practical, listener, very curious about almost everything. Passionate about music & cinema. I love travelling, meeting people, discovering and learn new things and places, different cultures...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING:
Friends Felipe, Daniela and Franco introduced me to CS! Then, Soren and Jamal guided me towards this project.
I participate by Travelling, Hosting (a bit out for the moment), Surfing on a Couch; and of course, introducing more friends to CS!
Also, I can show you around LIMA; help you look for a place to stay using CS, or a hostel; provide information, tips, suggestions about my city, or about traveling or living in Perú.
It is always rewarding and pleasant to give advice and help people interested in Perú. Hope you have a nice experience discovering peruvian brotherhood, friendship, food, etc.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE:
I joined CS back in 2009, at the beginning of my trip in Europe.
So, during my first years in CS, I had more experience as a traveler 'surfer': I hosted few people in Lyon (France) and surfed a lot in many European cities. I met amazing people and made new friends between hosts, surfers, travelers, and people in hostels, guesthouses, or bars.
Back in Lima, the 'host' experience has been awesome as well. A truly nice opportunity to share, learn and give back what I received from wonderful people, and more.
As a whole experience, I can honestly say that I LEARNED A LOT: gain local and cultural experiences, and learn from people in intimate is something unique. The true spirit of sharing and learning changed my thoughts about how I was traveling. The genuine generosity and warmth of someone willing to let a complete stranger into their homes, and more importantly, into their lives, changed the way I seeing the world.

* International Christmas celebration-dinner-party in LYON beyond religions, nationalities, languages, differences... a daydream.
* Naturism at PLAGE DU LAYET, interesting lifestyle to repeat.
* Walked CINQUE TERRE with so much weight without stopping.
* Walking in the PERUVIAN JUNGLE in a night full of thunders.
* The view from BRASOV (crossing Romania) to ATHENS by train.
* The Inka Trail... Machu Picchu at dawn, HUAYNA PICCHU, and then MP again...
