I´m freelance journalist since 2009 and published at newspapers and magazines.
I love to find unconventional stories, interesting people and write about it. I try to published only good news, the press in my country is full of bad news, so I promised myself use the media space I have with responsibility.

I was a college professor for 3 years, teaching photography and I hope I can keep teaching on the road. This May 31, I´ll start a long term travel around the world by the coast. Now Im at Indonesia :)

My favorites things are dive (Im Divemaster), walk, learn, read, travel and have good conversations with a cold beer :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to know new people and life styles. For me stay with locals or someone how live or love one place, is the best way to travel around the city and know the culture. Meet persons with similar interests is great to share and have fun and stay with someone completely different is perfect to learn.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I join an Antartic expedition for 3 month. My work was take pictures and do reports about the peruvian studies at Machu Picchu Science Station for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. 32 people spend all the austral summer at King George Island working surrounded by glaciers, with sun 24 hours a day and a lot of penguins <3

Peruvian station is near (45-60minutes across the frozen sea) to Brazil, Poland and USA stations, and when the Antartica have good climate conditions we can travel to visit.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversations, photography lessons and If you like sea, lets go dive!!!
