Originally from Peru, I’ve called NYC home since I was 17, long enough to find Times Square overwhelming. I’m passionate about traveling, discovering new cities, and connecting with people from all walks of life (especially if they come with great food recommendations). I’m also driven by a desire to make our planet a little greener and a lot kinder, because let’s face it, we could all use more fresh air, less plastic and more kind people

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love exploring diverse cultures, sharing my insider NYC tips, offering my couch when I can, traveling on a budget, and making friends all over the world to truly experience life.

Interests

discovering new restaurants, savoring wine and breweries, and making new friends along the way. Whether I’m exploring museums, catching a live music show, or diving into new cultures through travel, I love it all. When it’s time to chill, you’ll find me playing chess, foosball, or dancing while cooking :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Whether it’s reggae, rock, house, salsa, jazz, blues, bachata, or anything in between—music is my fuel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Helped rebuild a school in Peru where I taught English for a month and planning to do it again

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Spanish, salsa dancing, how to play soccer, how to cook (without burning the kitchen down), discover great places to eat in NYC, and probably a few other useful life skills along the way!

What I Can Share with Hosts

my love for great food and local adventures. I can teach you how to whip up a killer ceviche, practice Spanish or English, show you a couple of soccer tricks, and even drop some wine knowledge
