CURRENT MISSION

Ir a Irlanda a vivir por 6 meses y visitar a tantos amigos como se pueda.
I am looking for a place to stay in Dublin. A couch surfer would be nice for the first days over there.
I am traveling with my family (wife and two daughters, 7 and 15).

ABOUT ME

My name is Esteban, I used to live on a farm in the south of Chile, Kulenko in Cauquenes. The main product of the farm is organic wine. I am very interested in organic farming, ecological villages, and experiences related to communities. Now I am the owner of a piece of land of that farm and we will make wine again.

Right now I live in Curicó, 155 km far north from Kulenko. I am an English teacher at a local university, University of Talca. I used to teach linguistics and English literature, but now I just teach English as a foreign language. Also, I am a PhD student at the University of Talca and this year I will be doing an internship at Trinity College Dublin for 6 months.
I have two daughters, Antonia, 15 and Emilia, 7. My wife Daniela is very excited about this trip, we hope to have a lot of fun.
