About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Help in the same way i would like to be helped.

ABOUT ME

Un ser humano que le gusta aprender a ser cada vez más humano, y apreciar a las personas, las costumbres, las historias, las conversaciones, las risas y las lágrimas... Escuchar... caminar y probar siempre cosas nuevas...

PHILOSOPHY

1.- Perfection doesn't exist, but we can try to make things much better than they are:
2.- No one owns the future, no one can promise u love for live, because everybody and everything changes all the time;
3.- I believe in people, but if he/she fails me, i don't hate nobody, i only know that i cannot trust in he/she anymore;
4.- The world would be a lot much better if we start giving without expecting to recieve something in change, cause when we don't have expectations and things come its great surprise, but we expect all the time and never come is a big dissapoint.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well, i got two great expiriences before belongin to CS,
1.- In 2006 I met a colombian girl at the USA where I was working, after that she went back to Colombia and I came back to Peru, on january 2007 she told me that her boyfriend and her were coming to MachuPicchu, she was one of my bestfriends, so she stayed at my place during 2 days in Lima, that was how I realized the beautiful expirience to guide people who are really interested in my country, in my culture, in my people.

2.- on February 9th my parents and me went to Arequipa-Peru, on the way from Chivay to Cruz del Condor we met two awesome girls Ali and Megan, they told me that after cusco they were coming to Lima, that happens last sunday 20th obviusly they stayed at my place, we went for pisco sour, had some ceviche, and walk around Centro de Lima sadly they were here very shortly, but that was a great day for me, I hope they have no problems on the rest of the trip back u college.

Interests

Traveling a lot, showing my city to people that come frow far far away to see my country because they respect my culture, try to make them feel comfortable at all times and also make them feel save. Making drinks (uhuhu thats awesome, the mixing stuff is so cool), and also make friends (ofcourse)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Drinking alcohol in a public beach in the USA (now is amazing but if we're cought it would be so stupid)

Visit Machu-Picchu, Colca Canion, Niagara falls, and a place called Glaciar bay in Alaska.

Actions: In the 2007 earthquake I was in college on the 3th floor, when it starts and you could see anything on the hallway, everybody was running downstairs, but i went upstairs cause my girlfriend was there, and some stupid guys didn't let them go out the room, picked her up and we went outside the building, thats one of the very few brave things i've evere done in my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: where and how to take taxis/busses or how to get cheaper souvenirs, tips for that, cause here some people try to charge more than the right price.
Teach: Peruvian slams.

Share photos......my camera is brokennnn :(

Learn: a little of ur culture by talking.
