  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  Staying with me means experiencing a more local side of Lima, not just the usual tourist areas like Miraflores or Barranco. My neighborhood is residential, safe, and full of life: small markets, affordable places to eat, nice coffee shops, and friendly people in their everyday routines. Since I’m located almost halfway between the airport and Miraflores, getting around is easier, and your taxi/ride costs to the airport are much lower than they would be from the tourist districts.
  
  You’ll be sharing the home with me and my very curious cat, Genesis, who likes to act like she’s the landlord… but she’s harmless and loves new humans. You’ll have your own room and access to the whole house, and I do my best to make guests feel comfortable and included.
  
  What I enjoy most about hosting is the cultural exchange. I genuinely love meeting people from different parts of the world, sharing stories over a cup of coffee, tea or Argentinian mate (my favorite), learning new perspectives on life, and showing you small local spots if our schedules match. I’m very musical, and if you play an instrument or sing, we can always improvise a little jam session. I play the ukulele and usually have music playing in the house.
  
  If you want to learn something while you’re here, I’m happy to help with Spanish practice, basic Peruvian cooking (I make a great Lomo Saltado), or even a little Salsa 101 just for fun. I also speak French, Portuguese, and basic Italian, so language exchange is absolutely on the table.
  
  I also encourage Workawayers to explore Lima, pursue their own activities, and enjoy the city beyond the house. Having your own plans and interests helps create a healthy balance of shared moments and personal time, which I truly value.
  
  In return, I hope to learn from your culture, your skills, your stories, and the things you’re passionate about. I live alone, so hosting someone with a positive, independent spirit brings wonderful energy into the home.

  Ayuda

  Hi! 😊
  
  I’m currently looking for a volunteer to support me with the care and ongoing improvement of my home.
  
  A big part of the experience is helping maintain a comfortable and welcoming living space in a three-story house. Daily upkeep includes things like sweeping and mopping floors, watering plants, picking up dry leaves, and keeping the kitchen and bathroom clean and organized. From time to time, we may also work together on deeper cleaning tasks.
  
  Alongside this, I would really appreciate help with some home improvement projects, such as:
  • Repairing and smoothing interior walls (plastering and surface preparation)
  • Painting after repairs
  • Fixing small electrical details (like a doorbell)
  • Other general maintenance tasks
  
  It’s great if you already have some hands-on experience, especially with wall repair and painting, as a few areas need careful finishing. That said, I’m happy to collaborate and work together; what matters most is that you feel comfortable using tools and enjoy practical projects.
  
  This experience works best for someone who is proactive, responsible, and takes pride in both maintaining a clean space and contributing to hands-on improvements. I really value people who notice what needs to be done and take initiative to help keep the home running smoothly.
  
  If you enjoy a mix of practical projects and creating a pleasant living environment, you’ll feel right at home here ✨
  
  Looking forward to connecting!

  ✔️ What I Offer
  • Private room
  • Clean linens (replaced once a week)
  • Use of the kitchen
  • Laundry access
  • Wi-Fi

  • Tips on local spots, food, and places to visit in Lima

  ❗ What I Don’t Provide
  
  To avoid misunderstandings:
  • No meals included — you’re welcome to use the kitchen anytime to prepare your own food
