Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
My current mission is to travel around the world and to open my mind to different cultures and places :)
ABOUT ME
I am a peruvian traveler that believes that travelling can help you to develop different skills and find yourself.
Since I was a kid I knew that travelling would be my passion, I used to read a lot of books just to know more about different places and cultures, dreaming of having the opportunity to meet those places.
I think maybe that is one of the reasons why I have always felt encouraged of learning different languages, because I believe that languages not only helps you to communicate but thay also can show about the way people represents the world.
Now as an adult, I have had the opportunity to know another countries, and people from another part of the world. One of the things I love, is to know about different life's experiences. Life have teached me that you can learn a lot from another persons, and even if you just know them for a short time, they can easily become part of your family.
PHILOSOPHY
Maybe it is a cliché but I have a lot of faith, and I belive that love can do anything, even moving mountains.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'm just at the beginning :)
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I didn't have idea about couchsurfing, but one of my closest friends that had been through this experience told me that is the most amazing experience ever, that yo can meet a lot of beautiful people. That is one of the things that encourages me to start doing this :)
Interests
I love reading, because I think it allows my mind to travel to different times and places. I also like travelling, and having new experiences, watching films, cooking and baking cookies and cupcakes. But I thing that one of biggest passion is Art history, specially learning about modern and contemporary movements.

Music, Movies, and Books
These are some of my favorite books; Siddartha, A little princess, the secret garden, el amor en los tiempos del cólera, and I consider myself as a Pride and Prejudice's lover :)
I like most of the classic movies: Gone with the Wind, A street car name desired, Swing time. I love Fellini, West Anderson Woody Allen, and Tarantino's films.
I listen to different kinds of music, but I don't listen an especific genre. These are some of the bands I use to listen: Green day, SUM 41, Simple Plan, Blink 182, the killers, cold play, the all american rejects. I love the music from the 90´s, but the truth is that I'm listening to music depending my sense of humor. I don't have a favorite band
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I think that one amazing thing I've done is doing voluntary service for two years. I used to teach art lessons to children from SOS-Kinderdorf International in Lima, and from state schools. It became a real challenge for me, because in some cases I was the only teacher for 35 students and also because to make real beneficial lessons, I had to investigate a lot.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach to cook peruvian and italian dishes, and also to bake cookies and cupcakes. I can teach languages also :)
