Overview
About Me
I am a chilean traveler with a deep desire to learn and discover. Some months ago I changed some privileges for a simple and moving life. I am grateful for the people who help me extend this trip every day.
There are some questions that I have not been able to ignore. No comfort can against curiosity about other cultures, their history and their way of understanding existence. A nomadic instinct leads me to explore unknown places and I feel pleasure every time my route reveals clues about my own origin.
I think it is still possible to devise a viable way to coexist with dignity, combining the best of each culture. I think that to start creating some model of conscious organization it is necessary to go out and learn. That's why I think my trip is a kind of research, which seeks unity between art, science and philosophy
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
It is a meeting place between friendly nomadic people that I enjoy being a member of. Cultivating initiatives like this one actively displaces the sedentary and impersonal lifestyle that makes people selfish and ignorant
