About Me

CURRENT MISSION

learning ANYTHING

ABOUT ME

After some years in France where I discovered this great community I'm back to Peru to continue with new projects and hoping not to lose this feeling of being surprised by people, something I treasure from my years in Europe. I think people cross each other for some reason ... I try to be positive about others! We can start with some chatting while having a beer, some pisco, whine or just nice coffee.

I love to cook for others even if I'm still learning, but its all about having fun and trying new stuff (getting slowly better at bulgarian and french cuisine!) .

Now back at Lima, I can do something I have always wanted, to show my city the same way my friends did it to me! You will be in the hands of a nice architect (modesty apart haha) ... If I can get you to see Lima with the same eyes as I do my job is done ;-)

Après mon séjour en France je suis de retour au Pérou pour continuer avec des nouveaux projets et avec l'espoir de garder toujours avec moi cette sensation d' être surpris chaque jour par des gens, qqch que j’apprécie beaucoup de mon expérience en Europe. Je pense que les gens se rencontrent pour un raison particulier, donc j'essaye toujours d'être positif sur mes nouvelles connaissances! On peut commencer par discuter autour d'un verre de vin, du pisco, une bonne bière ou un petit café :)

Maintenant que je suis de retour à Lima, je peux finalement faire qqch que j'ai toujours voulu faire et c'est montrer ma ville aux autres de la même façon que mes amies m'ont montré leurs villes quand j'étais en train de voyager. Je connais très bien ma ville, ça fait partie de mon métier et ma passion pour son développement, si je arrive à te faire voir Lima de la façon comment je la regarde, ma mission est accompli!

PHILOSOPHY

tolerance ... its all we need

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been participating already for two years and it has been a great experience as a host, a guest, going to events or even as an event organizer (some exchange language picnics in France)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Always rewarding!

Interests

I love to learn from different people with different backgrounds. Its a great way of discovering yourself and makes the trip a lot more pleasant.

I'm a big fan of music, especially if it is able to surprise you every time. I'm genreless but If need to give an idea it would be close to trip-hop, rock, experimental electronic music, electro-folk, etc

--------------

J'aime d'être en contact avec différents cultures, avec de différents personnes de différents parcours et origines. Je trouve que c'est une moyen super de se connaitre soi-méme et c'est toujours plus mémorable quand tes voyages sont liées au gens.

J'aime la musique innovant. Je ne suis pas quelqu'un qui cherche des artistes par genres, mais s'il faut donner une petit idée de ce j'aime: trip-hop rock, experimental electronic music, electro-folk, etc

Well, out of architecture field, i might be able to teach some Spanish, not sure if teaching french would be a good idea hahaha, maybe in the future.
