Heya! I am Gonzalo, from Chile. I'm currently living in Edinburgh, doing a semester in The University of Edinburgh as Visiting Student.

I am about to become a Teacher of English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) and this is my first time in Europe. I want to live this experience as much as possible.

I'm living my dream here in the UK, and I'd like to extend that dream beyond the British Islands.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I am here because Francisco (a friend of mine) recommended me this. As I want to meet new cities, I think this is a fantastic opportunity to get to know people from those places, meeting new people and making friends for the future :)

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

- When I was 15, my mum and I gave shelter to a US couple who came to Chile to be volunteer in an English Camp to high school students. They were lost in the city centre of my hometown, they didn't have a phone number to get in touch with the programme and can bearly speak some Spanish words. So, I was the interpreter between my mum and these guys, and we thought that it'd be a good idea to let them spend the night at home as the woman whom they were about to rent was gonna charge them too much money for staying. They spent a good time at my house and my mum and I took them to sightseeing some places of my county such as Pablo Neruda's house and the valley.

教，学，和分享

Undoubtedly I can show my own country, the different places you can go in Chile (from the most well-known ones to the ones that are not mentioned - sometimes - on TV or a tour guide)

I can also teach you some Spanish and some Chilean slang, because Chilean people do use a lot of them (including myself hahaha) if you go someday to my country. If you already speak Spanish, it is a great opportunity to practice with a native speaker

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

If you let me in your place, I promise to be a very responsible person, take care of and respect your house/flat as if it is mine. I can bring my own blankets or sleeping bag if you don't want to spend extra money on washing.

I can show you some Chilean food or beverages that we have, show you a tipical Chilean "Once" and some other things related to our culture, history and food.
