Hi 🏻 I'm Cristian, a travel enthusiast with an interest in technology and photography 📸 I enjoy meeting people from different parts of the world and sharing enriching experiences. I'm currently exploring the field of artificial intelligence, and I like having conversations on a wide range of topics such as astronomy and art

I'm a calm person who appreciates and enjoys the simple things in life. I'm constantly learning, both about myself and from nature, and I always find inspiration in my surroundings

In my free time, besides photography, I enjoy reading, programming, and cooking, always trying local recipes. I also enjoy being a local guide and showing the best of my city, from its most iconic spots to its delicious local cuisine I can take you on a tour to explore authentic places and share the typical dishes of Valparaíso.

I've had the chance to travel through various cities in Europe and Latin America, which has allowed me to understand and appreciate cultural diversity. Now, I'm looking forward to using Couchsurfing to continue connecting with people from different places.

As a host, I like to showcase the culture and special corners of my city, making sure my guests feel at home. I can offer a comfortable space and interesting conversations about technology, astronomy, and art, as well as share the best spots for photography and local cuisine

I consider myself a curious, respectful person, and I'm always eager to learn from every encounter. I'm excited about the possibility of building new friendships and sharing authentic experiences. See you soon! ️

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I do not agree with the thought that for travel it takes a lot of money. Traveling should be enough with just having the desire to do it, have a pleasant experience of shared cultures and experiences with other people. If I can contribute a grain of sand with the philosophy that has this site, I will be happy!
