Hi! I am very friendly and open mind guy who loves traveling and meeting people from all over the world. I am from Piura, a north city of Peru but I have been living in Miraflores and Barranco for 10 years in Lima. Right now I’m based in Madrid, Spain for one year because I’m studying a Masters degree. I can’t host in Madrid but I’m able to meet people and show you around Malasaña the neighbourhood where I am living. If you want to know more about me and my trips please check My IG: ggestella

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’ve experience living abroad with a host family in Belgium, they opened their hearts to someone diferent and new and it was a lovely experience. My own family in Peru have also hosted exchange students, and we had amazing experiences with foreign people, sharing cultures, most of the time we still have communication and in some cases we have met later on my own trips. So now I’m convinced that meeting people from different cultures makes me happy because I learn a lot from everyone.
