About Me

CURRENT MISSION

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

ABOUT ME

I´m from Chile but currently living in Berlin preparing my phd. I´m a open-minded person, friendly, curious, good walker and vegetarian. I really enjoy interesting discussions about politics, films, music and stories from different corners of the world. I hardly have problems with someone except with people showing racist, sexist, homophobic or xenophobic attitudes, or having extremely consumerist and wasteful lifestyles. We are too many in this world to deal with that crap. Let´s keep it nice!

Unfortunately, I cannot host people right now due to limited space but I will start receiving couchsurfers again as soon as I get a bigger place!

PHILOSOPHY

Dialectical materialist. In other words: take care of your conflicts.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Sharing and learning

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first "couchsurfing" experience was hitchhiking in the south of Chile. It was raining and cold as hell. Some people whom lived there carried us until the next main town - one hour on an open truck where we were wet and freezing. At the end they invited us to stay in their place. They opened their house without even know us. We learnt about them and they learnt about us. Stories were told, sometimes funny, sometimes sad. I never saw them again, but they still appear on my mind when I see some hitchhikers on the road. And every time that happens I give the favor back.
After that I´ve been sharing with lots of couchsurfers from all over the world. Every time it has been an incredible experience.
