About Me

CURRENT MISSION

In 2010-2011 I travelled throughout some cities of Europe, and while I keep remembering the places, I wonder where is the next place to visit.

ABOUT ME

I'm easy going, some times I think I'm quite serene, especially when I'm working on my studio (one of the apartment's bedrooms) it seems that nobody is in there.
Although when I'm among friends I'm very spontaneous and funny, I know where to go for hanging out, parks, trekking, the beach or some roads on the bike, also some bars with beers and pizza or just wine (I love wine) (and pizza).

I live in a apartment in the middle of the city, Bellas Artes neighbourhood, close to Bellavista the bohemian neighbourhood.

PHILOSOPHY
I like nature and space in the most Carl Sagan way of seeing life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

First time because is my first travel in Europe, I was on my way to spend Christmas at London and The British police wont let me pass, not hard feeling to them :) so I was lost in Paris, I head toward Belgium and in Christmas time everything was booked…
Then I knew Couchsurfing for the first time, don't get a couch but was ok.
I know from experience of many friends who have done it and I really like to know people from all over the world and try to understand they way of thinking.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On Christmas 2010 I was at a friend house in Paris my plan was travel to London in the Eurostar and pass the holidays with my girlfriend, she was traveling from Bilbao to London at the same time.
I reached the cabin British official, we talk for few minutes and he refused to let me pass because he thought that I would be a non-true-visitor.
I was screwed up, that was the only place of my trip throughout Europe that was unchangeable so I tried because I though I had nothing to loose.
I tried to pass to UK 3 times in 2 days from Paris and almost get arrested and deportee to Chile.

So I changed my plan.
Passed Christmas in Paris, lovely.
Bought a ticket to Belgium.
Spend the days between un Brussels, the best city in the world.
New years eve in Amsterdam, no a bad thing at all.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my knowledge of the travel I've made through Chile, I would really love to learn to cook food from travellers who stay in my place.
