• How to start working remotely and travel while building a career 💻✈️
• Moving to Europe as a Latin American: visas, adaptation, mindset 🌍
• Creating and launching digital products from scratch (apps, side-projects, content) 🚀
• Coaching and productivity hacks to stay focused while living abroad 🧘‍♂️
• Career growth tips in tech, from junior to senior, and building your personal brand

💬 Share
Happy to share Peruvian culture 🇵🇪 (and food if we cook!), cool off-the-beaten-path places in Catalonia, and my journey as a migrant building a life from scratch in Spain.
Also love to exchange ideas about books, entrepreneurship, and life as a creative traveler.
