About Me

I currently live in Lima and, although I wish I was out there backpacking, I'm very happy to show visiting friends what my city is all about. I love books?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting new people with different stories than mine. I think diversity is a beautiful thing that should be explored. I know what it's like to go out somewhere and not know anyone, so I know there's no better feeling than meeting local folks who can make you feel comfortable and show you their culture, thoughts, views. It opens so many doors to everything and once a connection is made, you find yourself in an awesome environment, having a much better experience and living unforgettable moments.

Interests

Reading and writing, taking photos around the cities I'm visiting, listening to music, playing guitar, working out, driving, editing.
