Hey everyone,

my name is Gonzalo. I'm a 29 year old chilean that has lived over 5 years overseas in the US and Australia and therefor I'm fluent in English. I'm a mechanical engineer that is currently running a startup that develops medical simulators to train intravenous procedures.

I'm a person that has many hobbies. I play guitar and sing in a band, I also enjoy playing and watching football (or soccer as some people call it). I love physics specially astronomy and the study of the universe, spacetime, gravity and blackholes. Finally I would like to say that I'm addicted to travelling.

Currently I'm living in Santiago, Chile.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm in couchsurfing to connect with other cultures. To meet people when I am traveling or meet people who wants to hangout in Santiago.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Pause my engineering studies and go to australia for a whole year without any big plan, friends or money. Just a flight ticket and the work and holiday visa. Had to work almost the entire year but it was the greatest experience I've ever had in my life.

It wasn't easy, but at the end of the year I was feeling so empowered, happy and indepent. Wish I could have that same experience soon.
