About Me

After working for two years as a engineer in the mining industry in Chile I decided to quit my job and travel the world for some time (Asia right now).
Im just starting this exiting adventure in Japan and my draft is to visit every country between here and Australia (there are many!)
What i want in this trip, more than sight seeing, is to meet amazing people from everywhere, at the end people make 80 or 90% of the experience, and there is so many amazing people around!!.
I also want to experience the different cultures especially here in Asia that is so different from south america.
Im not in a rush, i rather stay more days in a city and feel it than go to visit the tourist spots and move to the next one.
I don't know where i will end up, i might get to Australia, go back home in a few month, continue traveling for two years, working somewhere unexpected... the future for me right now is undefined and im looking forward to see what it has to offer! :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to couch surf mostly to meet local people, to get a chance to interact with them, get to know the culture of the country a little better. Sometimes it is a little hard to share and really get to now the country only visiting the tourist spots and just staying in hostels.

Interests

Even if it sound cliche i love outdoors activities; trekking, diving, being in nature.. it nurtures me :) I also enjoy the cities, but I've realized that i like the country side better.
After starting this trip i began to write my adventures, so i can say that im into writing as well.
