CURRENT MISSION

Discover the world, one country at a time

ABOUT ME

Friendly, out-going 37y-old Chilean/German that decided to give up his former Londoner status to travel the world for a while hopefully finding inspiration for his next adventure. Have travelled a lot and intend to do so as much as possible.

Keen to learn and discover new cultures and fellow travelers; immerse myself and shoot the unexpected during the day, have a drink or three at night if the situation calls for it.

tl;dr? Friendly Chilean bloke who's keen on meeting locals wherever he goes.

PHILOSOPHY

Think for yourself, question authority.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Total Megalomaniac. Fast, loud and nasty. Also, chilled, epic and evocative. Not too keen on Reggeaton and Hip Hop but I'll dance it if I must, just don't tell anyone ;) If you're feeling curious, I also used to have a band called Find a Fiend (please note, fiend, not friend).
Movies: Well, the usual suspects (pun intended), Tarantino, Kubrik, Scorcese, Stone, Aronofsky, Nolan, Coppola, etc.
Books: Too many to mention, I read between 2-3 books per month, usually from quite different subjects and genres.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

All of my diving experiences have been pretty awesome, but specially seeing thousands of Hammerheads and seven Whale Sharks at Darwin and Wolf in Galápagos and 7-Meter Mantas at the Revillagigedo Archipelago in México.

The other one, by far, was seeing and timelapsing the Northern Lights in Acadia National Park, Maine, US. That was some epic shit.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm pretty sure there is plenty we can teach, learn and share with each other but why not do it over a pint at the local pub?

What I Can Share with Hosts

Home cooked meals and/or a proper Chilean BBQ!
