CURRENT MISSION

Travel to new places, meet different people... And be happy!

ABOUT ME

Just moved to Australia for work! I was in Nice, Singapore and Bangkok before that :)

What can I say? I am Franco-Peruvian, born in Peru from French parents, and married to a lovely Chinese girl :)
I lived most of my life in Lima, and came in 2005 to France for studying. I've been living most of the time in Paris since then, until I moved to the south of France in 2011, first for an internship, and now for work!I've had the great opportunity to travel a lot in the last years, mostly to Europe and East Africa. I've discovered amazing places, and met really great people!

Here's the small blog I keep about some of my trips: https://bilurensviajes.wordpress.com/

PHILOSOPHY

I think of life as about being happy and having enriching experiences... so I try and focus on the positive aspects of whatever happens, and read and travel as much as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been able to meet a few people from CS, host some, and to make at least one good friend, so my overall experience is limited but excellent!

Interests

Playing music (guitar, drums) - and listening to it, traveling, diving, hanging out with friends, reading, learning about different cultures, photography, and I'm interested in most things related to science!
I used to do Dragonboating in Singapore and Va'a in France, and I'm starting Muay Thai now that I am in Bangkok.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a lot of different music, from progressive rock to Peruvian music or African music. I've only began to read a lot some years ago, but I mostly like to read novels or books about geopolitics or history.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Getting married with a traditional ceremony in China! Besides that, I'd say rafting at the source of the Nile, in Uganda, and trying to dance traditional music in Addis Ababa !
