Overview
About Me
I am a Chilean interested in knowing about our fascinating world and meeting people from other countries.
I got a sociologist degree in my youth, and now I work in higher education management and quality. It sounds boring, and it is for most people hahaha. Nonetheless, I like what I do, and always try to learn and know more things, especially history and human society's development (That's why I love to work in higher education institutions).
Sadly, my work demands a lot of time, therefore I am not usually capable of doing the type of journey that I would like. And if I cannot travel, CS can be a fruitful way to meet new people who share similar interests.
In this sense, I have been using CS for several years, and it is a remarkably good app for travelers who want to meet and share with locals.
If you host with me, we can coordinate some activities to do, but sometimes I can't do it due to my work. I am not concerned if you have your agenda for visiting the city (it is understandable).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Travel on my bike, crossing hundreds of kilometers, lakes, rivers, and the Andes mountains twice!
Well, I must also mention that once I rafting in a small boat for 2 people with 3 more friends, and we four fell into the current, being dragged down the river!!
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach some Spanish and a lot of knowledge about Chilean and Latin American history. And of course, a huge quantity of crazy stories.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I have a lot of stories to tell, a good sense of humor, and a proven sense of responsibility toward travelers and hosts.
Nonetheless, if you want to stay with me, I assume you want to go for some beers and have a good talk at a bar or in the house. Well, I can provide it, no problem ;).
