CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

A just fair good enough salsa dancer, who can make you laugh, in the case of girls, or share and exchange some dancing secrets, in the case of guys.

A native-spanish-speeaking language learner, fluent in English, Portuguese, French, still struggling to speak and write fluently in German.

A future fiction writer. At the moment I'm writing Hemingway-style short stories. In my 40's (which will happen very soon), I'll start writing a little bit lengthy novels. If you're a foreigner, you can easily become one of my characters, since in my writing I feature how nationalities and languages shape our personalities. Don't you think I can "immortalize" you? :D

A future language interpreter

And a future millionaire .... Well, actually, six figures in my estate and bank account would be enough.

PHILOSOPHY

Idk, yet. I use philosophies, instead of they using me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I can't host. There's this monster at home called Max who can eat you. (For more details, see the 3rd pic in my profile)

Anyway, I can give you a guided tour in this city:

- The best points to eat real Peruvian food,
- The main monuments, so you can learn about our history and (dreadful) reality :D .
- Cool events

If you're into salsa dancing, I can show you very cool places, so you can show off your skills ;-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Nothing. Just being alive. This is hard in these times :P

Teach, Learn, Share

I love doing language exchanges, as stated above. My first foreign language is English. I can help you if you're having a hard time in this city when you're using Spanish for daily purposes.

If you're fairly fluent in Spanish, I can teach you some unique features to my dialect, Spanish from Lima.

A gente tb pode falar em português, se quiser. Eu gosto mto do povo brasileiro, talvez um dos mais legais neste planeta.

D'ailleurs, je me débrouille assez bien en français, on peut causer sur de différents sujets. Surtout, sur littérature et un petit peut d'histoire.

Seit kurzem lerne ich deutsch. Es ist ne interessante sprache. Trotzdem schaffe ich es noch nicht, fliessig zu sprechen. Es gibt viele Sachen zu behalten. Vielleicht kann jemand mir dabei helfen.

AND OF COURSE SALSA... If you're into salsa dancing, just let me know. I've been dancing for 2 years now. I dance both On1(LA style) and On2 (NY style)
