I am from Piura, a nice, small and sunny city at the north of Peru with wonderful beaches, delicious food and very kind people.

I am civil engineer with a master degree in Construction Project Managment and now I am working as Infrastructure Supervisor.

I consider myself as a quiet guy, very polite and openminded, very sensitive and a big lover of good food and nature.

I like traveling a lot and enjoying each place I visit, each moment I live and each person I meet in my life. That is my philosophy!

I always respect culture differences. After a lot of years I could learn that life is more simple than it really appears, for that reason I always try to live in a good way and feeling the moment.

After working many years including a master degree I decided to have a different life style without less restrictions, not materialistic and with a contact with nature and soul.

I am learning about Huachuma and San Pedro ✨🌵✨ old peruvian medicine to find myself and be able to help people.

My goals:

⏺️ Soft ego death.
⏺️ Self discovery.
⏺️ Opening to the mistical.
⏺️ Seeing beyong the normal life and trying to find a real connection with the environment, with nature, with people.

We can share this knowledge and connection.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started with CS on January 2017 because of of my best friends from Croatia recommended it to me and from this moment I felt the connection with this amazing platform and with the feeling of being part to this great worldwide family.

Couchsurfing also means to me the best way to make friends from all over the world and understand different cultures. Is amazing how many guys and girls I could meet during this time like a host and guest, spending great moments with them.

I am also here because I really like the CS concept: meeting locals and enjoy with them how is the real life in each city/country. I want to help surfers to know how is my country and also give them an special space where to live here in Piura / Lima.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love cooking, i learnt it when i was a child and my teacher was the best: my mom! (in fact she is still my favorite)
In order to this, i could teach all surfers to make peruvian food!
I also could teach spanish and how peruvian people drinks beer!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I think is important to be in a nice place where you can spend time on holidays or during the trip, i like to offer it because I am also a traveller and is really a good experience to share those things.
I could share an little space in my home and food if i am available to cook or if surfers cook too :)
Good conversation, great walkings and a more.
As a surfer I could share all my experiences, I also could teach to cook peruvian food, spanish and tell you about my country and my culture.
I really like to talk and walk around with people, i also like to listen and understand how they think and how they see this world.
