Overview
About Me
Hello there!
I'm peruvian just finished studying in the UK so I'm taking advantage of my remaining time in Europe to travel as much as I can
I like to consider myself open minded and easy going, in general I just enjoy getting to know people from different backgrounds and try to understand their view on life
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I found about this through friends when talking travel experiences and just loved the concept. Getting a local's view of the city and meeting like-minded people in a nice environment in contrast to cold and impersonal hotels seemed too good so I decided to try it out.
Interests
I studied a bit of photography so that is a huge part of my trips (I am one of those weird people that would lay on the ground to adjust the lightning and angle of an architectural shot)
Being peruvian, food culture is a must, so I do go around just looking for the best places to eat (and will definitely ask you about them)
- photography
- traveling
- visual arts
- cultural immersion
- gastronomy
Music, Movies, and Books
Music: brought up on classic rock but slowly expanding my interests
Movies: psychological thrillers (although favorite as of now is Million Dollar Baby)
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Been to the southernmost city in the world in the summer when the sun sets at 11:30 pm
Teach, Learn, Share
Learn: Any knowledge you might have about the most random of topics is well appreciated. We can never know everything about everything but every bit of information that is shared among people helps bring the puzzle together
Teach: I can answer (most) questions about Peru and teach you some interesting social-sciency concepts that are bound to make you question things you take for granted
Share: My culture! Having lived abroad I've developed a passion for sharing a bit of peruvian culture with everyone I meet
What I Can Share with Hosts
Though I would not say I'm a great cook I can follow a recipe and can try making a peruvian dish for you or help you around in the kitchen
