Hi there!
We are a couple from Chile, we took a break from our normal life in 2014 and flew to Australia to live and work, now we are travelling our way back to South America through Asia and Europe busking with an ukulele and working in everything we can, open to all the opportunities life bring on us.
This trip have been a life changing/paradigms breaking/mind opening experience and we are loving every minute.
We are preparing a travel blog and hopefully we will come back to Asia again in the near future because asian people have stolen our hearts.

A little more about us (we are describing each other)

Ale (29) is a person with an enormous heart, she is Psychologist specialized in infants and teenagers. You can tell right away she has a special sensitivity with children, she loves them and they love her. She helps children that have been abused, with disabilities, or just have problems facing being a child. She is very friendly, when you talk to her you feel you are talking the most interesting and exciting thing in the world, that's why I think people feel so close to her so quickly, I know I felt that way the first time I met her!

Ian (31) is a very kind and honest person, who really enjoys learning new things, I think he wants to know about everything, he has a curious mind. He has a great sense of humor, he's always making me laugh. He is very creative, he loves music, he plays the guitar and bongoes. If you love music you'll really like his company...if not...Also!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To learn from people that has grown up in a different place than us. We came all this way to learn and grow. We know we are 2 people and that it can be more difficult to find a host, but we have double things to share! Now we are travelling we've learned better to give and receive, we've had so much support from people we didn't knew, and we just try to do the same for others.
