Overview
About Me
When I created my CS account in 2013, I had no idea that it would be so important. I just became a host in summer of 2016 (even I normally received some friends, but it's different, you know). And I did it because I wanted to explore the traveler world before my great adventure: moving to Australia with a work and holiday visa. So that was it... After a couple of months hosting people, I quit my job (I'm a lawyer), sold my car and almost all of my stuff and bought a one way ticket to Australia. I spent half a year traveling, working and meeting amazing people. I wasn't planning to come back to Chile, but circumstances of life are strange and here I am, in Chile for a while and enjoying every minute of everything that I've lived. And finally, but not less important, I'm Catholic and God is really important in my life. I don't mind if you're Buddhist, Anglican, Muslim, any-other-religion or atheist, I think it's a true personal choice, and we can talk a lot about different religions and points of view, but I like to be respected in my beliefs, so if you're one of those people who use to make fun about it or attack someone because of it, please don't send me a request :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I want to share experiences with people from all around the world, talk to them about our lives, our countries, our dreams and celebrate the fact that we're alive! The fact that we're really lucky people, cause we're doing something spectacular. It's not easy to pack your things and going out to find adventures... It requires a lot of bravery. So, I suppose that I'm here cause I want to meet all the other crazy people around the world :)
Life is simple, it's about sharing, not about working a lot to buy irrelevant things, so let's live!
Interests
Travel (of course!), off road 4WD, outdoor activities, camping, wildlife, animals, animals, wildlife... Did I say animals? Oh, and reading and photography as well. I also love to learn about everything, doesn't matter what, I'm very curious, so I really enjoy having a conversation about any topic!

Music, Movies, and Books
I love to read, mostly about politics and philosophy (I know, it's not like suuuper exciting for everyone haha), but I also read sci-fi, romantic novels, police intriguing stories and even the shampoo or cleaning stuff ingredients! Yeah, I really love to read.
Movies: let's all say Netflix! Series oh yeah.
And music... Oh, how could I live with no music in my life? I looooove indie folk music, I really do, but after travelling a lot, I learned to value my Latin music. I also like to hear African rhythms, I think they're beautiful and full of energy. Actually, I'm just willing to listen whatever you want to show me... Music is an expression of the soul, so if you pay attention you can get more than one surprise with all type of music.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I went to the bolivian jungle in a solo trip for 2 weeks. It was my first time traveling alone and it was the best experience ever.
A solo travel trough Australia... Most awesome travel ever <3
What I Can Share with Hosts
My stories about traveling, my experiences in my own country, a lot of laughs and conversations about any topic (if I don't know, I want to learn). For the record, I reaaaally love to eat. No, serious, it's a big deal, I could eat every minute of the day haha, so if you like to eat, I can cook Chilean food for you as well! And of course, if we connect, I can offer you my eternal friendship :)
