I'm from Chile, a country in South America. I'm studying medicine but I decided to take a sabbatical year to travel around Africa. My plan is to backpack from South Africa to Egypt and I have 8 months to achieve it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm new on Couchsurfing, but I have already had expirience sharing my home with foreigners. Hearing their traveling stories and be able to exchange life values and cultural differences was something I always enjoyed. Couchsurfing allows you to know a place from the point of view of the locals and that is something I think is difficult to find today.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Spanish and I can explain what you should do if you ever travel to Chile. I would like to learn a bit about your way of life, your culture and of course whatever it is that you are willing to share with me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm always willing to meet new people or go out to know places. I can offer my motivation for doing things and I like to talk about different topics, from history or politics to travel, life, etc. I am also always willing to share my culture and information about Chile (if you ever want to come to this amazing country).
