Hello there! I'm a passionate software developer by profession and an amateur photographer by heart. I have an insatiable appetite for exploring the world, capturing its beauty through my lens, and immersing myself in the diverse cultures that inhabit it. I truly believe that each new place I visit and every new friend I make along the journey enriches my life in unique ways.

One of the things that excite me the most about traveling is the opportunity for cultural exchange. I find that learning about different ways of life, perspectives, and traditions not only broadens my worldview but also fuels my personal growth.

But it's not just about taking; I am eager to share my own experiences and stories. Whether it's about writing code, capturing that perfect sunset shot, or my own traditions, I look forward to engaging in enriching conversations and making memorable connections.

I'm excited about my upcoming travels to Italy and France by the end of this year. The rich culture, history, and cuisine of these countries have always fascinated me, and I'm eager to experience it firsthand.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because it aligns with my love for travel, cultural exchange, and building connections. It's more than just a platform for finding a place to stay; it's a community that opens the doors to authentic travel experiences.

In a world where you can easily be a tourist, Couchsurfing allows me to be a traveler. It provides the opportunity to see the world through the eyes of locals, to understand their cultures, traditions, and everyday life in a way that no guidebook can offer.

Moreover, Couchsurfing offers a unique chance to create lifelong friendships. I believe each person I meet holds a story, a lesson, something that contributes to my journey of growth and self-discovery.

Lastly, I love the idea of reciprocating the kindness and hospitality I receive. Being able to host fellow travelers and share my part of the world with them is as rewarding as exploring someone else's.

As for music, my tastes are deeply rooted in the raw and expressive vibes of blues, rock, and alternative genres. There's something special about discovering small bands and watching their artistic journey unfold.

When it comes to reading, my interest lies in technology and the stories behind its key influencers. One book that particularly resonates with me is 'Steve Jobs' by Walter Isaacson. It's an inspiring read that captures the life and vision of one of the most influential figures in the tech world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most rewarding accomplishments of my life has been diving headfirst into the world of coding. Within just six months, I mastered the skills and secured a job in the industry. It wasn't just a career move, it was a life-altering decision. Coding is not only my passport to an exciting professional landscape but also a ticket to fulfill my wanderlust. Today, my tech skills grant me the freedom to work from anywhere, opening up endless possibilities for travel and exploration. It's a fantastic blend of my passions - technology and travel.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: As a software developer, I'm more than willing to share my knowledge of coding for those who are curious. Plus, I can give a taste of the Spanish language and Peruvian cuisine, teaching you a few traditional recipes that have been passed down in my family.

Learn: I'm always open to learning about your culture, traditions, and experiences. Whether it's a new language, a family recipe, local history, or even a new board game, I'm eager to expand my knowledge.

Share: I can share my experiences in traveling, working in the tech industry, and the unique perspective that comes with my Peruvian heritage. I'm also keen to share stories from my journeys, the photos I've captured, and the wisdom I've picked up along the way.

What I Can Share with Hosts

As a guest, I come bearing a slice of my home - Peru. I can introduce you to the vibrant flavors of Peruvian cuisine as I whip up a traditional meal, share tales of my homeland, and recommend must-visit spots. Along with these cultural exchanges, I'm more than happy to lend a hand with household chores.

If you're interested, I can give you a beginner's crash course in Spanish or even in coding. As a software developer, I'm always eager to share the fascinating world of technology. In essence, I bring a blend of Peruvian hospitality, tech knowledge, language lessons, and a spirit of cooperation to my hosts.
