About Me

I´m a chilean guy with 34 years old. I have been planning to take a trip for years ago, but studies and relationships have not done it possible before.
i tried, without success, to take trips to Hawaii, Australia, Norway and other countries, but (since i was a little boy) i always dreamed with Hawaii...
Working in my country as a Engineer for some years without hollidays, i decided that it'was time to make it, so i quit my job on August 2014 to begin my expected travel... i moved to Easter Islands where i learned more about surfing, diving, polynesian culture and another amazing things... Then back to Chile continental on December.
On January 2015 i moved to Atacama's Desert (the dryest desert around the world), to San Pedro de Atacama... a beautifull small town in the midle of nothing sorrounded for a different but lovely nature and scenarios...there i get a greeeeat job, tourist guide...amazing experience..!!!!
After that, a took a travel to Brazil (Ilha Grande) and back to Chile...so, as you can see... i spend all my money traveling but i never get to Hawaii... buuuu...
For that reason, in june i decide moove to the north of my country for a engineer´s job (once again)...hahahahah...i needed to earn some quickly money so i moved over there...
Today, i´m trying to move to Oahu, Hawaii... i love sports, nature, the sea, animals and of course a great conversation... everything that surround me with good vibes !!!
I`m an empathy man... or i think so... hahahaha... i got a lot of friends, so i hope to meet this beautifull lands and peoples...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In Easter Island a friend told me about couchsurfing... Now i'm really interested becasuse i think that meet and stay with a local person it`s the best way to make a travel, learn about other cultures and meet great persons around the world.

Interests

I have been with the idea to move to Hawaii since a i was a little boy, so now it´s the moment to do it, and see with my eyes, why i always dreamed to go there.
I love nature, surf, beaches, sun, have fun with friends, hicking and more...

I'm very interesting with learn about the culture & art of the pleaces where i go, in Easter Island i had the chance to watch dances, listen music, visit the Antrhopology Musseum, ...mmm...all the island its a big musseum indeed... Learn about the people and their culture...i wish to continue my trips around the Polynesia...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i always say: i work for live my life and not live for work... So, it was amazing when i quit my job to star my traveller adventure in 2014...at the same time, i begin my surf experience and another onces like go everyday with a big tourist group over the 4.200 meters above the sea level to watch the beautifull and the power of the nature in the middle of the Andes Mountain Ranges.
Another amazing thing that i've done in my life is have been always making my dreams come true. I'm sure that this life its too short, so its very important live it as you want it and makes all our dreams come true...
