ABOUT ME

Well, I am chilean, and I have lived around 9 years abroad, for different reasons (4 months USA, 4 years Mexico, 1 year guatemala, 3 years Italy, 6 months India...).
I have met many great people abroad, and I have received many hands when in need. I'd love to meet new people and, if I can, be helpful to someone.
I love to ride my motorcycle, hiking and trekking with my 3 year old son, through the mountains that surround Santiago, the Andes.

PHILOSOPHY

The world is a place that is a lot better than most people think. There is a great world out there, and I am happy to be part of it and glad to give my own little contribution to it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people, I love to travel, and I gladly help new travelers coming to Chile or wherever I may meet them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Volunteering in Calcutta for 6 months. Great experience, both while volunteering and when getting to know the volunteers, who were very very different than me. That was 19 years ago, and I am still in touch with a few of them. After that, I never stopped traveling.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you the best places for hiking around santiago, and I can teach trekking skills.
I play guitar so I can show / teach you our classic chilean songs :)

I am good at computers, but no, that's boring and you don't travel for that.
