I grew up on the northern side of Chilean Patagonia, next to a beautiful lake called Llanquihue and in front of two active volcanoes, Nature fills me so I try to protect her by living a simple life, a life without innecesary luxuries. I studied economics and then worked as a social innovation adviser in south Chile. I left my work a year ago to travel so I can contemplate our beautiful Earth and learn from different ways of living.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing to meet people from around the world and share expierience with them. I was told that hapinnes is only true when share and I agree.

Interests

Visiting beautiful places is my biggest interest. I love to go trekking and hiking, to connect with nature, Is my way of meditate. I like to share expieriencie with people and learn from them. And party too, why not, always yes and so on. I read to learn from wise people and be better by taking in their teachings.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music! Is the artistic expression that I like the most, the one that makes me feel the most. My favorite bands are Pink Floyd and The Doors, they´re still rocking. I also love chilean Folk and Cumbia latina. I like Electronic music a lot and its festivals too. I would love to learn how to be dj so I can share music that I've heard around the world. Hip-Hop, Ska, Punk, Reggae, Folk, Rock, Jazz, Blues, Classic even Metal, anything with rythm is good to me.

"In the Name of the Father" with Daniel Day-Lewis is my all times favorite. "If you gonna shoot, shoot, don't talk" by the Ugly from "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" is my favorite movie quote. "The Usual Suspects" final is my favorite one, of course. "Dr. Strangelove", "The Big Lebowsky", "Groundhog Day" and "Life of Brian" are the most funny I've watched. I've enjoy every Wes Anderson movie, specially his first works. I belive Brad Pitt is highly underrated, everyone of his films are good. There where heavy rainy winters down there in Chile (belive me, it rains quite a lot) where watching movies was my hobby. I even have a script project working on.

My favorite books are "Farewell to Arms" and "One Hundred Years of Solitude". Beautiful books. I read mostly philosophy, being Herny David Thoreau and his "Walden or Life in the Woods" my favorite way of interpretating the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've crossed the Cordillera de los Andes a couple times between Chile and Argentina. Last time we (two friends and me) spend 10 days in the middle of nowhere walking through the southern chile rainforest jungle, spending the night next to one of the seven glaciar of the tallest Volcano in my home town region, bathing at night in natural hot tubs, crossing rivers that where filled with waterfallings, meeting people that need 3 days on horse and boat to get their groceries from the store. That's one, but fishing swordfish in Eastern Island, bathing surrounded by sparkling plankton in Thailand, dancing five days under the full moon at Festival Nomade, swiming with turtles in Bali, or riding a boat over the amazon river for 3 days with the psycodelic cumbia band "The Amazon Sound", can be another one.

Teach, Learn, Share

I belive learning is the ultimate goal of life. In every conversation we have we can learn if we listen carefully.
