I'm a nature and wildlife photographer from Santiago, Chile. I lead private tours in Torres del Paine National Park in Chilean Patagonia. Now I'm traveling across the United States, practicing my photography skills at various national parks and cities. I'm driving by car from San Francisco to Denver via the parks of Utah and Arizona and then I'm taking a two day train from Denver to New York City. I did a high school exchange to the San Francisco Waldorf High School when I was 17 years old and now I'm back again after 10 years.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling and meeting new people. Travel for me is all about the experience of meeting people along the way. I'm on Couchsurfing to see a local point of view and not experience things as a tourist. This is my first time using Couchsurfing but I'm excited from all the good things my friends have said about it.
