About Me

Hello! I'm from Chile. 25 years old. Currently based in Paris for work.

I love to talk with people and know their stories. I think that everyone has something to say, something that it's really worth to be heard.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that the best way to know the culture of a country from the inside, with the people who live it on daily basis. Do you remember the old times, when the travelers went roaming from town to town in an adventure? That times when you could open the doors of your house for them and be a part of that journey? I think Couchsurfing is a place where you can meet them, share something with them and in the same time, learn something new and the most important thing of all: Make a little difference in someone's life. I think the people is the most important resource of the world.

Interests

I like movies, It doesn't matter if it is a comedy, drama, etc. As far as it has a good story to tell and it's interesting, I will see it! And I love to discuss about them.

Also I like to read (Sadly, lately I can't do it as often as would like because of the university :( ) and the literature in general.

I love the culture and the museums, also. I can spend hours if it is interesting ;)

And specially, I love to meet new people who have interesting stories to tell.

Books: Some authors that I like are Stephen King, Herman Hesse, Albert Camus... My favorite book could be The Shining, or Steppen Wolf.

And if you want to know what it's one of my favorite stories from all the time: The Sandman, from Neil Gaiman. That story really left a mark in me, and I can talk hours about it :).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't know if it's amazing, but I left my coutry and family behind to live here in France :)
Other thing could be that in Santiago I was bored in a weekend so I bought some make up and clothes and disguise myself as a zombie and I went alone to the Zombiewalk of 2012.
