About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Medical doctor and film maker. Current mission is to find out what I want to do with the life I have.

ABOUT ME

I am a chilean/swedish guy that enjoys to meet new people and cultures. I love to play and listen to music like jazz/blues, latin music or just funky pop and to watch and make films, mostly documentals but also having interesting conversations about music, films and philosophy. Politics and social situations is also something I find very interesting and important to concern oneself with.
I travel nowhere without my camera and I love to catch the world through my lenses.

PHILOSOPHY

Dive deep!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Ive bee doing this for some time now but outside the forum of Couchsurfing. Because travelling is a big interess of mine, I meet a lot of people whom I always invite to my home in Sweden at the same time they invite me to there housees, cultures and habbits.

Interests

I am a sucker for films. I love to watch new and old classics. Its an interess I have had since I was little kid.
I love new different cultures and I feel like I grow as a person for every new culture, country and person I get the chance to know. The world we live in is my greatest interest and I wish to see and experience as much of it before It's too late.
