About Me

I'm pervuain and I'm an electrical engineer that currently lives in Lima, Perú. Love rock music, I like to run but lately I didn't have much time for it so right now I'm out of shape :( but I'm working on it.

My motto:

"Think for yourself, question authority. " - Timothy Leary

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I try to travel at least twice a year outside of my hometown, Lima, to know awesome people and places around the world. Sometimes I came back to known places when I like them very much and to visit friends I made there. I can do this every time my budget let me, of course. Maybe it could sound like a cliché but I believe that the only thing that matters about traveling is to live experiences, not to visit some tourist place, I mean it's ok if people want to do that, but I think the most important thing is what you experience visiting that place, or knowing different people, the emotions you get and the knowledge you learn from that.

I'm a rock music lover. I like lots of artist, some of my favorite bands are Nine Inch Nails, The Melvins, Ministry, Tool, Yo La Tengo, Flaming Lips, Massive Attack, Depeche Mode, The Knife, Crystal Castles, Hot Chip, M83 and others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well I'm not sure at this. Maybe to build a radar at work? But it was a group work. Still pretty awesome. Oh and maybe that time I went to an Umbanda ritual as a guest in Brazil? That was a new and very interesting experience for me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share with you some stories and I'm always willing to meet people from different cultures to share different points of view of everyday things, I think it's necessary to question yourself constantly and is very helpful when you want to think outside the box.

Also I can teach you how to use an Arduino so you can learn to make code for software and hardware projects. But you have to get an Arduino board first, usually I don't travel with my Arduino everywhere haha.
