I am a organic gardener who wants to be a protagonist in this regenerative agriculture revolution. Food is one of the most important ways how we relate with nature and our landscape.

Now I work in a NGO, Conservación Patagónica. We are creating several National Parks in Chile and Argentina.

I have a small biointensive garden in one of these parks, Parque Patagonia in the Aysén region of Chile. The garden has 3 years now. I feed the local community of 40 people and provide fresh produce for the Park restaurant.

I have been traveling for some years now learning different techniques and approaches to organic agriculture. My idea and dream is to build a diversified organic farm to provide food and knowledge in Patagonia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to travel knowing local families, my experience has been primarily on farms doing chores and working in the farm.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last summer I went with 2 friends to a 5 day traverse through a place without trail with our packrafts. This was on the edge of the northern ice field. Hiked trhough a dangerous mountain, morraines and paddled lakes and rivers.

Last year I went with a friend to the new Impenetrable National Park, in northern Argentina, we went down río Bermejo for 8 days taking pictures of the abundant wildlife of this remote park. Yacarés and capibaras everywhere.
