About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Exploring Portugal (including the islands) and meeting new people.

I have recently moved to Lisbon (but keep on traveling lots) and I've been lucky to already have a group of friends (from Italy, Chile, Argentina, Germany, Venezuela, Scotland, Costa Rica, etc..) and we are very united and welcoming to new friends. You are likely to meet them if you stay with me or we meet.
Business wise have opened an office in Lisbon and I'm also the director of the Chile-Portugal Chamber of Commerce, which sounds fancy but it's not that much.

I am really friendly, I love meeting people that are even completely different from me, but I'm absolutely intolerant to smoke and smokers (sorry about that)

For common sense reasons, I don't host anyone that has no recommendations and friends, and opened an account only for free accommodation.

A few things about me

I run on sarcasm.
I'm a wine lover.
I have Chilean and French citizenships.
I love paragliding.
I need sun and good sleep.
I like to breath and meditate.
I'm also pretty good tour guide if you need someone to show you around.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.
