About Me

I'm an artist and video game designer
We can talk for hours about art and its impact on the world, favorite artists ( I'm a Van Gogh fan - actually touched Starry Night! ), powerful works, the current state of art, etc. I've studied at the art institute of Santa Monica but transferred to the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan after two years so if you'd like me to be your art teacher I can definitely teach you every single thing I've learned, from composition, color theory, linework, visual rhythm, therapeutic art, art history, you name it!

I've also been a pianist/keytarist for a couple of months now and would love to learn more if you're musically talented maybe we can exchange knowledge!

As for my personality, I'm a soft-hearted guy who enjoys long & engaging conversations, animals,nature, creativity, amusement and trying out new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Big 80s fan, industrial, ebm, new wave, and the new 'retro/vaporwave' variants.
Cult and foreign movies are always great, animated movies, art films and any movie that shakes you from the inside out.
Huxley, Orwell and Warren Ellis are some writers I've gotten into but I'd like to expand my book knowledge, I love comic books of all kinds!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been to remote Chilean volcanoes and waterfalls to seeing entertainment epicenters like Hollywood, San Fransisco, Seattle, Manhattan NYC, and Vegas.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm open to share all of my past traveling knowledge and stories. My life has been a wild wild ride and the stories are endless.
I can also teach a lot about Chilean culture/history/cooking and dancing.
And not to brag but I'm a damn good cook
especially Asian meals such as Pad Thai, Sushi, Onigiri, Miso, fried rice, noodles, you name it!

Seafood and vegan food are my specialty!
