Hello, my name is Orlando, I am a 24-year-old crazy Peruvian who left everything to meet more people around the world, many say that all this started in January when I decided to leave the country to do a master's degree outside, but the truth is that this started much earlier.

I was born and raised in a province north of Peru, that made me always want to go looking for a better future outside, at 21 years of age, already graduated as a graphic designer and computer engineer with a lot of uncertainty inside, I decided to go out and conquer Lima. In those years many things happened, I grew up too fast, I really enjoyed my work and the new friends I made. But the opportunity to study outside the country arrived, and do not hesitate. Social Innovation? mmm I will be honest, I thought it was not for me, I was more digital, machines and computers, but again the uncertainty made me embrace social innovation with love, now graduated, my whole environment was waiting for me to find a better future professional than I already had, but I decided that it would not be in a company, if not in a bus going to know more communities around the world, I have been volunteering in many towns in Spain thanks to Workaway, and it has made me very very happy.

So yes, uncertainty may not move mountains, but it has moved to Orlando, and he is in a version that wants to share it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet people who tell me what is the best and worst of living where they live. The stories that the most important places you visited. Collaborate together at home and maybe learn a new language. I promise to do the same.
