welcome to Peru! You will have an amazing time!

-Alright so I am very silly, and one of my favorite things is to dress up in my T-Rex Dinosaur Costume and fool around
-I joke around allllllll the time, bad jokes are THE BEST
-I love taking care of people, showing them around, making them happy
-If I could welcome people all the time I'd be a happy puppy
-I grew up in Peru and Canada, and really miss Canada

-I am vaccinated with the 3 Pfizer doses but I have no problem if you have no vaccines ;)

Alright so life. I grew up in Peru from 1-16 years old. Then moved to Canada from 16-23 years old. There I studied Molecular Biology and Environmental Science, years later I found my true passion in making people happy through service :D, so I went to Switzerland and studied an MBA in Hospitality.

These days, I am working part time in the family business where we manage some apartments we own, and am slowly brainstorming on business ideas I wanna put into work in 2022 when I have saved up :D
I live in Lima now

Hmmm. I like taking walks in the park, and to meet new people alllllllll the time, it's my favorite activity. I'd like to study a bit of social psychology on the side, I think it is super interesting, what motivates us to act and think the way we do.

I work 7:30am-4pm, but when I am not working and so, I'd love to take you around and show you the city, go for food and all. It's gonna be a lot of fun! Depending on my vacay time and other thingys, I would be down to travel with you haha. So much fun!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

-I wanna make friends who like doing things with great passion
-I have much in common with the type of person who does couchsurfing, they are super friendly, adventurous, and passionate about doing what they love and gives meaning to their lives, brave ;)
-I am the happiest whenever I am showing someone around my country, like a happy puppy :D

-I miss speaking in english like in Canada, I grew up in Canada from 16-23, which formed my way of thinking and social behavior. Canada is full of immigrants, so meeting people from all over the world, is something I am used to, and that I kind of miss now. People who are from other countries usually understand my "north american style" jokes, and they hi5 a lot like me, so I miss that too. Yeah, people in Peru don't hi5 a lot ;(

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
