  Beschreibung

  Updated: June, 2025
  
  This is NOT a hostel, but a personal project aimed to become an educational & cultural spot in the neighborhood. It means, you will NOT work following a set of rules to make profits for a bussiness, but to participate to develop a social-aimed venture.
  
  The project is located between urban and rural area in south of Lima. It's close to the beach, archeological sites, museums, greeny paths and outdoor places.
  
  How are the day-by-day activities? Feel free to manage your own schedule. Just let's agree. I'm quite flexible (close to anarchism sometimes, learner of plants and animals) and eager to work together.
  Activities are related to gardening, bulding in wood, painting, creating spaces and other areas.
  
  About me
  I spend most of my time in the germinal project of Bauwasi, where I live alone. I usually receive travelers and volunteers of different platforms. What else? Just ask me, I am eager to talk. I have a degree in Philosophy and other in Anthropology, with concluded master studies in Epistemology. I've travelled 24/24 departments of Peru, 20 of them by bycicle, and lived in other Latinamerican countries.
  
  Welcome!
