Hi, I like painting, swimming, cooking. I am a very curious person, so always open to have a conversation with people with a good heart.

Interests: Nigiris (specially with truffles - cook and eat), art (painting or open to onboard into any practice), practicing sports (not watching tho), reading (into philosophy, business books and self-help books), night walks

Peruvian national swimming record holder. Goal-oriented banker. Ex-McKinsey. Frustrated itamae. Proud idealist.

I consider myself open-minded, not picky about doing different things, I can accept a coffee, a meal, making a new trip or just go out for a walk.

Stayed at a luxury cruise in the deepest side of the amazonas with no cell coverage so was able to fully disconnect in this crazy era
