About Me

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Santiago, where I live.I believe I'm an involontary exponent of the so-called irrational humor, which by the way, I think is the most rational one. So that's why sometimes people don't have a clue of what I'm talking about...but believe me, it must be something very funny or really really interesting.I always like a good conversation, from the most deep and philosophical ones, up to the silliest (which use to be very philosophical too)You'll learn more about me by reading below, and of course, by talking and ideally meeting me

PHILOSOPHY

ENJOY
Be Respectful
Be Faithful
DARE

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to participate as much as I can.
Sometimes I would be able to host, sometimes not, but just ask ; )

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was hosted in Bayonne, France...and it was just perfect. Hope to host and be hosted several times in the future. Great experience
-------------------------------
An excellent experiencie with the Seoul CS group, good friends, several meetings and activities.

Interests

For me, the best is hanging out with friends.I like to ride my bike, play and watch football, I try to play Basque Pelota (awful player), I like tennis and rugby, but just as a fan. Actually, I like to watch any well-played-sport.I'm interested in history and the particular story of everything, a country, a region, a city and its inhabitants, specially in unknown details.
I like flags, a lot, so there you have a good present for me, haha :p
I also like coins, old and/or foreign.
I'm "fan" of languages and its different accents. I TRY to "speak" several different idioms, but I actually barely speak good spanish.
I really would like to travel a lot, but is a kind of difficult, but I'm trying...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visiting the birth place of my grandpa and town of my ancestors, in Espelette, France :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Spanish, and I believe it would be funnier and useful if I teach you some "Chilean". I would like to learn some french and basque, but actually I'm interested in all languages. I can show you the city, historical places, maybe going to a football match (or organize our own if you play) and where to have a good beer/drink.If you like/know about architecture, I'll be very glad to travel with you through the city analyzing and debating about it. The problem is that I really don't KNOW much about, but that's the idea, to share and learn (about this and everything)
