About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Share my culture with other people who have a lifestyle different from mine.

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Chile. I am 29 and live in Santiago, the capital of Chile. I don't practice any popular sports, but I do a lot of physical activity, like jogging, running, and a lot of hiking. I speak Spanish, English, Italian and Portuguese fluently. I am a sociable, easy-going and down-to-earth person. I enjoy meeting people from all over the world, traveling, eating out, reading, going to the movies (a lot!), making conversation, exploring, doing outdoor activities and, mostly, learning new languages. I'm also an amateur photographer. Feel free to contact me! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can't host anybody at the moment, but I can show you guys around the city and have a nice conversation at a local bar, café, etc., to exchange cultures, languages and lifestyles. Don't be afraid to contact me if you need any help finding your way around Santiago.

Interests

One of my all-time hobbies is to go hiking as much as possible, so if you like outdoor activies, there are plenty of hills in Santiago that we can hike up together, like Cerro Manquehue, Cerro Pochoco, Cerro La Cruz, etc. Just google them! I also love reading, going to the movies, hanging out with my friends, and mostly traveling whenever I get the chance to travel. Photography is one of my interests as well.

Music, Movies, and Books

As I previously said, I love books and movies, so I can't make a list here or I'd be writing forever. Still, my favorite genre is novels (love, suspense, thriller, crime) and horror movies (I also enjoy action and love movies).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Yet to be discovered.

Teach, Learn, Share

Since I like languages, I can teach them. I also like teaching my mother tongue to those who have come to my country and need to learn it for different purposes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I suppose there are a lot of things I can share with hosts, but I guess a nice conversation, a city tour, a hike in the mountains, or just some help whenever they need it will work. I'm friendly, so if we get along and become good friends, I may even invite you into my family.
