About Me

I love environmental education, conservation and working as a guide in different places, but specially the protection of the ocean and its wildlife. Teach and learn as much as I can with my example of reducing the single use of plastics, and trying to do my best with it. I really appreciate the times when i share with someone I don't know from another corner of the world, everyone has their own story and i would love to share mine with you.

Me encanta la educación ambiental, la conservación y trabajar como guía de distintos lugares, especialmente en la protección y conservación de los océanos y su vida salvaje. Enseñar y aprender lo que más se pueda, con mi ejemplo de reducir el uso singular del plástico de nuestras vidas y tratando de hacerlo de la mejor manera posible. Siempre aprecio cuando comparto con personas de distintas partes del mundo, porque todos tenemos una historia que compartir y me gustaría compartir la mía contigo.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because since I started travelling, i've been an enthusiast in meeting new people, from different places, but also the beautiful places around it, different cities, national parks, but mostly the local people and their culture, main reason for my travels it's to get to know it and give my small but big i think it is, the grain of sand in the world. Trying to share my experiencie with others and at the same time learning from everyone and everything, because once you start travelling, you never stop learning and exploring.

Debido a que cuando empecé a viajar, he sido un entusiasta en conocer personas nuevas, de distintas partes, pero también los lugares hermosos como ciudades, parques nacionales, pero por sobretodo, la gente local y su cultura, una de las grandes razones por las cuales viajo, es poder aprender y entregar mi grano de arena en el planeta. Tratar de compartir mi experiencia con otros, y al mismo tiempo aprender de cada uno de los lugares y personas que visito, porque una vez que comienzas a viajar, nunca dejar de aprender y explorar.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Dive with whales and dolphins in their natural enviroment. Participate with a group of scientists tagging whales and dolphins to check their migratory routes in south pacific, specifically in Chañaral de Aceituno, 3rd Region of Chile, where i spend most of my time working as a whale watching guide during the season. Teaching environmental education to kids and adults, because that's how you get to make a change, with your example and love. Worked as a guide in a biosphere reserve in south of Chile, called Huilo Huilo, a worldwide protected area because of the endangered species, having the opportunity to meet the smallest deer on the planet and so many other things to come!
