CURRENT MISSION

To explore, to contribute, to learn!

ABOUT ME

Journalist and writer interested in travel, literature, music and food. (In roughly that order.) Ni gringo, ni peruano.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live my life in such a way that I'm engaged with what's in front of me, without worrying too much about the future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm looking forward to meeting new people in new places.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This will be my first time using CS, though I've a fair amount of experience tripping around southern Peru and northern India.

Interests

I like to spend as much time as possible meeting new people and learning from them. When I'm alone, I like to read, go on walks, and write.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On my first day in São Paulo last year (where I lived for a few months), a 1-million person street demonstration took place outside my door. Such an amazing display of solidarity and celebration of humanity.
