Description
I am Richard , a surfer, surf instructor and surf guide from Peru , I have started an small surf company 10 years ago with a kombi bus, and now I upgraded it to a Mercedes Sprinter van , that I turned into a very large and comfortable camper , where besides giving surf lessons at the beaches of Lima, where we love to prepare healthy food in company of Olita, my rescued pup. I speak fluent english and russian, besides my native spanish. If you interested in the surfing lifestyle, the van life and discover Lima and its surrounding beach towns, this is the best way. And if you a writer and or a graphic designer, I might need your help with an enviromental sci fi graphic novel I am working on too.
