About Me

Used CS while traveling in Europe, it was a great experience. Met some amazing people. I love traveling, and getting to know new places.
I consider myself a easy going and adaptable guy, always looking on the bright side of things.
I love experiencing new things, most of the time you get a nice story to tell.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I moved to Viña del Mar last november, and been getting to know the city bit by bit. I like having people over at my place to show them what I know about my country and city.
