My name is Rodrigo Alonso Villagómez Barbaran. I’m peruvian. I have 16 years. I borned in
Lima in March 9th, 1999 at Clínica Ricardo Palma on the San Isidro district, which is located on
the south of the city. The exact hour I was born was in 11:43 a.m. When I was still a child, I
moved to Cusco to his grandparents’ house. The house is located at the Wánchaq district, in
the east of the city, at Inglaterra street. I studied on a school that I considered too far away
from my house. I also remember that after school I liked to go with the other kids to plays at
the vicinity of the river Huatanay. What I liked the most about the city was that I was able to
learn english. How is that possible? Well, every weekend a group of tourists volunteered to
teach it in the Instituto Superior Tupac Amaru. After some years, I returned to Lima to live on
the Comas district. I ended my english studies in ICPNA, located on the San Miguel district.

location by car, he’ll walk from his home. But first, he’ll do some things before it. Guide him
using directions and locations. If you don’t know the name of a street, feel free to ask. If
streets are short, just count how many blocks there are.

From his house to Unicachi.
