CURRENT MISSION Studying to become a Surgeon and dedicated to parenthood. ABOUT ME Better look at my references than listen to a self description. I don't like obnoxious people that write on and on for 30 pages about themselves. So I'm going to keep it simple. I believe in friendship, respect, service towards others and having a good time. Honor and trust are very important for me. I strive hard towards these ideals and I enjoy people who can give me their insights and have a formed opinion on everyday matters. I love to tell jokes and make fun of myself and friends, so I'm not always serious and deep and having a sense of humor is very important to me. PHILOSOPHY Karma mostly, but on this life.
Interested in Adventure Sports
Fluent in English

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Sharing obviously... experiences, insights, laughs etc. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I've received quite some people on my house during their trips. I really like for people to get to know us Chileans and the way we think and how we party! Right now we are really grateful to all of those that directly or anonymously helped us in our trip. We are fully dedicated to my studies and our daghter so we can't host at this moment. Siempre ávido de recibir visitantes y mostrar lo característico de mi país.
Music, Movies, and Books
Lots of all of them! Star wars, fight club, clockwork orange, Blade Runner, Snatch, Half baked, Eurotrip, just to name a few.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Torres del Paine circuit, enduro raids, small ascents and a wonderful work and travel experience in Wisconsin, US. The desert in Morocco with a great Berber friend! Turkey during its struggle. Israel as well! Beautiful Japan!
Teach, Learn, Share
1. Medicine/ Health related topics 2. Martial arts, specifically Aikido and Judo
What I Can Share With Hosts
At this time I'm expecting my daughter to be born so we won't be able to host for a while. We hope to start sharing our home with travelers as soon as possible. For now, maybe an evening out exploring the city or maybe a nice cold drink chatting about travels and experiences. Also, some insight and tips on cool places to go.
My Interests
Artes Marciales, literatura, películas, juegos de mesa, montañismo, motos!! Martial arts, movies, literature, board games, role playing games, motocross, outdoors and mountaneering, the list could go on and on.
