About Me

I'm from Santiago of Chile, but currently I'm living in Northampton, Massachusets for my graduate studies in the Phd program of Economics in UMass Amherst.

I like drinking with friends, meeting new people, listening music, play pool, play and watch football and some board games. I love going out to clubs and dance either latin or electronic music.

One of my hobbies is to play the guitar, but in my current trip I'm carrying and ukelele which is more portable.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always have received people in my place and I really enjoyed to share with someone who needed a place to crash and show them around my town. I think is a great experience but I never thought until recently to start using couchsurfing.

So I decided to try the experience. in my trip around Europe. Moreover, I don't like to be a traditional tourist so I have been going where I know people and I think that Coachsurfing could be a great opportunity to met new people where I don't know anybody! I believe that is way more cool to share with people that live in places where I'm going rather than hang out by myself as a traditional tourist.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm carrying an ukelele and I can teach how to play it! If you like to sing we could have a blast together.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm thinking in pay for HBO to watch Game of Thrones during my trip around Europe. I wouldn't like to watch alone at all!

Moreover, I like to go run in places where I go so if you like running I would be glad to do some exercise together.
