CURRENT MISSION

"I'm only here to do two things, drink some beer and kick some ass. Looks like we're almost out of beer. "

ABOUT ME

I was born in Peru. I lived there during childhood and moved to Canada with my amazing mom and my twin. I go back every year.

Here, you can find me front-row at a concert, enjoying some pints of beer in a lit-dimmed bar or wandering around with my camera, chatting with strangers on the street.

I travel by myself every year since I'm 19. Some friends joined me in the way and of course, you're never completely "alone" anyway. That's the beauty of it. When I leave, I never plan ahead. Going with the flow.

I've been to the Amazon, Belize, Costa Rica, Mexico, Hawai'i, Peru, Bolivia, San Francisco, L.A, Seattle, Puerto Rico, New York. Lots of islands. Love being near the water.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm just always happy. Anything will make me smile. A snowfall or a baby squirrel. I'm easily pleased.

Here is some spoken word by the awesome Anis Mojgani. It can give you an idea of what I believe in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I spread the love!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Truly amazing.

Interests

Randomly, I can say that I'm a big fan or Jurassic Park. I love Calvin & Hobbes. Accappella shows make me cry. Cars in a big city make me nervous. I have a useless & annoying skill at remembering movies & actors & plots. And I promised myself that I will see the Northern Lights before 2015.

I told you it was random.

Everything is amazing, really.
