About Me

Estudié artes visuales y no tengo trabajo, por lo que me dedico a hacer bolsos, pinturas, dibujos y clases de distintas cosas(inglés, xilografía, acuarela, grabado, dibujo, serigrafía, animación, etc...)
I studied fine arts and I have no job, so I spend my time making bags bags, paintings, drawings and different types of classes (english, xilography, engraving, watercolor, drawing, silkprinting/screenprinting, animation, etc...)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Me gusta conocer gente nueva de diferentes culturas y luego de haber trabajado como guía turístico en una importante agencia turística en Santiago decidí seguir haciendo tours pero por mi cuenta, sin agendas ni estructuras definidas previamente, más bien intentando guiar a quienes quieran conocer la ciudad de la manera que más les interese (acordamos qué quieren y se planea el tour con anterioridad al horario de reunión), hago tours por propinas y me especializo en tours culturales (museos, barrios históricos, etc...) y de vinos, aunque mi gran favorito es el tour local donde muestro los lugares y comidas tradicionales de la ciudad a través de un largo y bello paseo por los lugares más relevantes.
I like to meet new people from different cultures, and after a time working as a tour guide in Santiago at a big agency I decided to keep working on it by my own, no agenda, no structure, but trying to guide people in the way they want, relating to their interests (though we arrange the type of tour people want, and I organize the best schedule to do the tour before meeting), I do tours for tips, usually related to the wine culture or the cultural places (museums, old neighbourhoods, etc...), though my favorite tour is the "local" one, in this one I show the most traditional places and food through a long and peaceful walk around the most relevant places in the city.
