CURRENT MISSION

Improve the current status of my country, in social and ecological terms. As a gay guy, I also look forward the defense and promotion of LGTB rights.

PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND

I'm a passionate young scientific entrepreneur and have always been involved in the youth-led movement + science around the globe. I've been supported by several institutions to take action in youth and scientific events in Japan, Tonga, New Zeland, Vanuatu, Turkey, Colombia, Venezuela, Argentina and in several regions of Peru. Nowadays, I'm a researcher at the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) in Lima.

PHILOSOPHY

I have this simple rule (yet, it seems hard to follow for most people): be honest, be kind and always be who you really are. And I love getting surrounded by diverse people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I share a little bit of the world I've been able to see with every person I meet.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been a guest in Medellin, Colombia.

Interests

Getting to know lots of new stuff, cultures, people, and new ways of making science. Being a gay guy in a country like Peru has made me a very particular person, aiming to give a special place to every person I reach to know closely :)
