Hey ! I'm Raúl, a Swiss-Chilean student studying Geography at the University of Geneva. I'm fond of travel, in particular visiting really big cities. I also love travelling by train, or hitchhiking if I'm broke (most of the time). I really like photography, especially urban photography. I also make some videos, which can be seen in my Youtube channel (vids are in French, but most of them are subtitled). Otherwise, I like spending time with my friends playing card games with some booze, eating out, shop in flea markets and thrift stores, listening to music, sightseeing, and travelling as much as possible.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitch-hiking from literally just outside my house to my friend's apartment in Paris, in less than a day !

Teach, Learn, Share

I could make a crash course of classical student recipes – pasta, rice – but also a my-parents-thinks-it's-really-good kind of risotto, empanadas de queso, mashed potatoes, and good salads.

I'd really want to learn how to cook vegan while on a tight budget. Surprise me !

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can try to teach you French or Spanish, how to do the best risotto or the best empanadas ever, while having a good laugh !
