About Me

I really like to interact with my guests, that's why I'm more available to host on weekends, but send me your schedule and we'll figure it out :)
⚠️ If you're a remote worker, I'm happy to suggest spots/cafés to work in the city, not my apartment ❤️
🗓 2 nights is my sweet spot

I was born in Peru and after some traveling around, I've been living the last decade+ straight in Brazil where I run a fintech start-up. As of Dec 2021 I'm based in Rio de Janeiro.

Passionate to travel to off-the-beaten path and discover different ways of living around the world. Easy going, beach and outdoor lover, adventurous and interested in meeting new people to share life stories.
