Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I love traveling abroad and also because I like meeting new people, know their background, their way of thinking, and share life experiences. I have shared apartments with many friends since I was eighteen, now I'm thirty six so I know how to deal with people and have a good communal living.

Interests

I've got an academic degree of english-spanish translation, but I'm very fond of working in musical events, such as concerts, and live performances in Chile and abroad.

I love going to concerts and listening to different music styles, I'm very fond of rock-metal-punk music, but I also listen to trip-hop, ambient, soul music, etc. I'm an open book about music so If you like it maybe we can be good friends!
