Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Enjoy life as much as I can, making the world a better place to live.
ABOUT ME
I love nature, specially the ocean and the mountains (I used to practice horse rinding when I was a kid). I practice rock climbing, trekking, swimming in the ocean, and in general, I love extreme sports. I studied for almost a year in Bola Roja (clown clasess, such as in the movie of "Patch Adams"). I also studied "impro" for another year.
I worked for almost 20 years in the Ministry of Foriegn Trade and Tourism of Peru as a internacional trade negotiator. I was responsible of almost all the free trade agreements negotatiated by my country. For that reason, I travelled all around the world. And the most part of year 2016 I was involved in OECD issues working at the Ministry of Economy and Finance. Since may 2017 I am back home at the Ministry of Foreign Trade, being responsible mainly of international trade negotiations on GP, SMEs, and trade and gender negotiations.
I am very friendly, and I love to talk and make new friends. I also love dancing. I quited my former job on september 2013 and since then until December 2015 I took a sabatical time, and I travelled as much as possible during that period. Love animals. Love traveling. I am a very responsible and respectful people.
PHILOSOPHY
Be happy in the nature.

Frindship. If I have time, I can show you part of the city and also help you with information about the rest of the country.
You can stay with us up to 3 days, so please dont ask for more!
My preference is to receive people older that 25 years old.
I live in a house with my family: my dad, cousin and my 4cats: Elisa, Jhon Connor, Jane and Cersi, in the nice neighborhood of Chorrillos, in the old part, in front of the ocean. Its like 15-20 minutes by bus from Miraflores. By taxi maybe 7 minutes.
