About Me

I Used to work at the Corporate Finance Group with Scotiabank in Santiago, Chile until I decided to go travelling in my Van up north along the coast of the Pacific Ocean in South America. I will be travelling for around 2 years and wanna make a round trip Chile-Mexico-Chile. Looking forward to meet nice people on the road and score good surfing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing cause I want to live the real experience of staying in places, instead of paying for hotels and hostels every single time. I think hostels are a cool place to share experiences too, but many times they are overrated and are quite pricey. Also, i'm on couchsurfing beacuse i'm on a budget, since I took a couple of years of to travel, and want to be able to travel cheaply.

Hate this type of questions. What's this? a job interview?
Anyway, here we go: Quitting my fulltime job to travel around South America in a Van.

Sportswise: Hiking up Mount Aconcagua

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm pretty fluent in English and Spanish, so I can teach both languages or help those who do not understand these languages correctly, also teach them a lot of slang and foul language.
