I have learned that when you make the first step out of your doorway, while staying open-minded and open-hearted, the universe smiles at you and magic happens!

I’ve used Couchsurfing for some time and meeting wonderful people at the most unexpected times has brought immense joy and purpose to my life

Hi! My name is Pedro. Nice to meet you. You might be looking for a friend, a new experience or just a place to crash. Come on in! :)

I’m a Peruvian living in the US for the past 4 years 🇵🇪 I love dogs, random plans, happy people and career growth.

My life is defined by (i) having a positive impact in the world and (ii) having deep friendships to experience life with.

Right now, I am exploring the world of venture capital and impact investing in emerging markets. This job allows me to travel a little, and whenever I have free time, I try to make new local friends and have authentic experiences.
