About Me

I'm named just like a famous philosopher and quite often english speaking people find my last name funny, so better call me Leon, as most of my friends usually call me. I studied Business & Economics and whilst I was studying I tried to set up a couple of businesses without lucky. I was almost a professional football (soccer) player and dream to become Chile's president. (really)

I seek experiences, challenges and love. My objetive in life is create a successful business that allow me work in something that makes me wake up in the morning voluntarily and motivated. My trip is the pursuit of that. I practice meditation and lately I started writting science fiction.

Partying and sports are something I really enjoy, but I do have my geek side. Technology and computer science are my copilots.

Current mission: Leave my comfort zone and find my passion. Traveling around the world looking for business and new experiences.

Digital nomad lifestyle.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently surfing. I have traveled around the world for nine months until now (april-15) and CS has been the perfect partner to meet amazing people and live the cities as a local.
As I'm traveling it's hard to host people, but if I have a chance to host someone soon point I'll gladly do it.

Interests

I am sportman and love the outdoors life. I also enjoy having a good time, party and drink with my friends. I do have my geek side which comes mostly from reading, video games and technology. I'm passionate about polithics and diplomacy. Front-end lover.
