Hi
I'm now living near Puerto Varas
I was born and raised in Santiago, the capital of Chile. I couldn't live in the city anymore so when I was 20 I went to southern Chile (Valdivia) to end my studies of Forest Engineering. Since then, I've been living in many places, usually on retired quiet places, free from modern craziness.
I am new at this Couchsurfing so you can search me on Facebook as Juan Jose Irarrazaval to talk.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I like listening to people from other parts of the world. I'm not an international traveler my self, so having people in my place is a nice way to learn from others. Perhaps I can become an international traveler one day.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music. I like Nick Drake, Neil Young, CSNY, Gramatik, UB40, SOJA, Donovan, Leonard Cohen, etc. I also like other kinds of music, but I can't stand reggaeton and all its cousins. I also don't understand nor like electronic music.
Movies, I really don't remember, I usually watch movies and forget them until I see them again.
Books. I read historic novels.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about chilean forests, its species and how it works. I'm a fan of our flora and ecosystems so I can explain you some things if you are interested. You can see my facebook album of my country's flora.
I like to learn about anything. I like to talk to people who really know about any subject. I don't like those who "sell it" and I can tell when someone is selling something so please avoid that. I really apreciate real people.
