In my free time, I stay active with sports, movies, video games, and cooking. Whether running on the beach, or biking, I enjoy staying fit and healthy. I also love exploring new spots in the city or nature.

I'm friendly and open, always eager to learn and share experiences. Meeting locals and learning from them is a passion of mine. Couchsurfing allows me to have authentic and enriching travel experiences.

I've been lucky to visit countries like Peru, Chile, Brazil, the USA, Turkey, Qatar, and Indonesia, gaining unforgettable insights into diversity and kindness. I look forward to sharing stories and hearing yours.

Thank you for considering my request!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting locals, learning about their cultures, and making new friends. Exploring new places with a local perspective is invaluable, and Couchsurfing provides that unique opportunity that hotels can't offer. While hotels are friendly, they lack the human interaction that makes travel special. Couchsurfing allows me to connect with amazing people and enriches my travel experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite Music:
I'm drawn to music that offers a bit of everything—catchy tunes with meaningful lyrics and a beat you can dance to. Whether it's the poetic storytelling of folk music, the infectious rhythm of pop, the soulful melodies of R&B, Latin or the energising beats of electronic music, if it's got great lyrics and makes you want to move, count me in!

Favourite Movies:
When it comes to movies, I'm all about variety. I enjoy films with compelling stories, memorable characters, and captivating visuals. Whether it's a heartwarming drama, an action-packed thriller, a mind-bending sci-fi, or a feel-good comedy, as long as it's well-crafted and keeps me entertained, it's a winner in my book.

Favorite Books:
In the world of literature, I appreciate diversity in genres and styles. From gripping mysteries to thought-provoking classics, from inspirational memoirs to imaginative fantasies, I always seek a good read that sparks my curiosity and expands my horizons.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Completing a solo trek through the Peruvian Andes to the Nevado Ausangate in Cusco, Peru, stands out as one of the most thrilling experiences of my life. Embarking on this journey without a map or guide, I challenged myself both physically and mentally. The rugged terrain, breathtaking vistas, and the sheer remoteness of the landscape added to the exhilaration of the adventure. As I navigated the pristine wilderness, I felt a profound connection to nature and awe at its raw beauty. Despite the uncertainties and challenges along the way, reaching the majestic Nevado Ausangate was an unforgettable moment of triumph, reminding me of the limitless possibilities that await those willing to venture off the beaten path.

Whether mastering the perfect pie crust or learning the intricacies of French pastry techniques, I'm here to guide and inspire fellow food enthusiasts in the kitchen.

Learn: I'm always eager to expand my knowledge, especially in technology. Whether it's exploring the latest advancements in software development, diving into coding languages, or delving into the world of artificial intelligence, I'm excited to learn from experts and enthusiasts alike. Additionally, I'm keen on discovering new cuisines, honing my baking skills, and exploring different cultural traditions related to food and cooking.

Share: Beyond cooking and technology, I'm passionate about sharing experiences that bring joy and inspiration.
