My name is Loreto, I live in Santiago de Chile and I graduated as a social anthropologist. I enjoy meeting new people, hang out, have a beer, talk, but especially learn from them. Also like to know places by walking and spend time in nature. I really enjoy music and cinema too. Sometimes I play guitar or ukulele and sing (not too good).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

From July to October I traveled through Europe, meeting wonderful people; some of them through this social media. I was impressed by how nice it is to know places through the eyes of those who host you, giving a special sense to the routes you make and allowing you to discover places that you would never reach if it wasn’t for those people that shared it with you. Now I think is good to continue meeting people through it and share a little bit of our lives while we also know other places in the world.
