I was born in Arequipa, a city in the south of Perú, and I studied tourism and industrial engineering.
At the university, I was a member of AIESEC, the world’s largest youth-led organization, through which I applied for a volunteering project in Morocco where I traveled and wrote reviews about the tourist places of the country as part of a tourism promotion project.
I also traveled to Mexico to be part of the Harvard National Model United Nations where I met people from many countries and I learned a lot about diplomacy and international politics.
I had a cultural bar in my city where I used to invite different artists to play some music, to present their books, to read some poetry and more.
As I love traveling, I decided to finish my work as a supervisor engineer and began a career as a tour guide. Now, I'm traveling almost every week with people from around the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people, helping, and showing them why I'm so proud of this beautiful country.
Couchsurfing is an amazing way for all young people and travelers to save some money and being able to visit more places.
Sharing with locals and learning more about their culture.

What I Can Share with Hosts

As a traveler and a tourist guide, I think I could share my experience, my traveler anecdotes, and the stories I've learned from my tourists.
I love discovering new places and people, so we could spend some time, walking, visiting museums, hanging with new friends, and if you feel like it, traveling together.
If you are interested in traveling to South America, I can share with you the best tips for that ;). And I can convince you to visit Peru for the first.
