  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  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.

  Aide

  At the moment, the main help needed is supporting the daily care of my three-story home. Keeping a large house clean is a shared effort, so I value volunteers who are proactive and comfortable helping maintain tidy and pleasant spaces.
  
  Because dust and leaves accumulate quickly, daily upkeep is important. Tasks include sweeping and mopping floors, watering plants, picking up dry leaves, and helping keep the kitchen and bathroom clean and organized. From time to time, we may also work together on deeper cleaning tasks, such as kitchen cabinets.
  
  This experience works best for people who are responsible, detail-oriented, and who take pride in creating clean, comfortable living spaces.
  
  I truly appreciate people who notice what needs to be done, take initiative, and help keep this home welcoming for everyone.
