Hi, I’m a Chilean Bioengineer. I work in research at the University of Concepción
I think that the best way to know a place is walking along their streets (not necessary in hot points), meeting local people, tasting their typical food and trying to understand or get immersed on their daily life.
I think that people can learn a lot by knowing different ways of life.
I also like to walk on natural environments, take pictures, to write, read, and to watch movies and theater.
One of my newest passion is apiculture, right now I'm raising 3 beehives.

My next trip will be to Punta Arenas and Tierra del Fuego, I want to go to dientes del Navarino and Ushuaia with my girlfriend.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that this can be (I’m new in Couchsurfing) a very good platform to meet people from different places of the world and know things that you would not if you were to a tourist agency.
