About Me

CURRENT MISSION

is to create a company in the marine business by mixing thoughts and ideas from different cultures

ABOUT ME

well I loveeee to sail and to meet new people. Even that some times I am a little bit conservative, I am fully open mind.

When I was a child I grew in a farm with my parents, so I am also really related with nature. I love to do outdoors and try to do something different every weekend

PHILOSOPHY

You know? the world is getting so tiny that you never would expect who are you going to meet. My philosophy is to share your experience and thoughts with some one else, and there will be the time when you will find new convergence in ideas, thoughts and feelings that will help you to come up with something greater that you will expect, and this you could use to change the world for good

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have received some friends in Chile, Mexico and France. I have also stayed in Argentina and Chile two times.

I would love to participate even more, like local reunions and also, maybe, showing around the city in which I currently living.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Lovely,

In every couch that I have slept on (two so far)my experiences have been all positive. not only that you arrive to make new friends and friends who doesn´t charge you even 1 cent. Is more the cultural convergence that I have experience every time that I have slept in someone's else couch our every time that I have received someone.

a story? once I went to Mendoza, Argentina, comming from santiago chile where I was living. I met this guy by couch surfing who picked me up at the hotel where my sister was staying and who I was visiting. Once he picked me up, we went for a ride in all mendoza. At the end, he received me at his apartment. He told me that he was studying international journalism and he will loveee to go and cover the palestinian-israeli conflict. I didn´t know anything about but I left him the contact number of a friend who was doing a report in Afganistan. That night we went partying, and I meet great people from the Mendoza community.

Years later I run in to my cousin, he told me that a argentinian guy contact him about his dream to do journalism in Palestinia. He gave him some contacts of some editors of the news company that he was working with and he got the job.

I never would expected that.
