About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Share my place with interesting people from all over the world...

ABOUT ME
欢 迎 你 来 CHILE!‏
欢迎中国朋友.....我喜欢中国菜,中国文化,中国人。我在学习中文 ‏我会说英文。
I try to do my best with my English and I'm also trying to learn French and Chinese Mandarin, so I think it's enough to get by... hahaha.

I love to travel, although my time for holidays is very limited. I truly enjoy every opportunity I get to discover other cultures and meet new people. We are inviting you because we know we can learn a lot from you, and because we enjoy sharing what we have and hearing about the experiences of people from different countries. Of course, we would love to visit your country someday, too. Don't worry if you don't have a couch for us in your home; that's not the main reason we host people. We could simply meet for coffee when we visit your country. It's always great to think about the future, and it would be amazing to meet again in some part of this small world.

I have a job, so I'm usually very busy during the week, but we can spend time with you on the weekends and join you on trips to explore the area. We can offer you a place to sleep, rest, cook, wash your clothes, etc. We always try to make our guests feel at home. We have two dogs, Snoopy and Aika, so if you don't like dog hair or are allergic, it might not be the best place for you.

In any case, you are welcome to visit us. Pablo, my friend, my dogs, and I would be very, very happy to meet you.
如果中國人想留下來學習西班牙語,我們可以交流課
PHILOSOPHY

You don't need a lot of money to be happy if you have good friends, and it's even better if they are spread all over the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will talk about the places around and i will join to your trip as well, of course if you wish and if i have enough time. I have experience inviting many people from different countries and i like to share if i can learn something new.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i have hosted many differents members of couchsurfing. I don´t mind religion, gender or colour, flag or language..., i mean, no matter how different they could be, but my only one rule is respect and you feel like home.
My english it is a mix of everywhere and every person that i have met, so, sorry for that😄

Interests

"It is important to let you know in advance that my house is not a courier service, a hostel, hotel, or motel, nor a luggage storage facility. It would be much better if you ask to stay on the couch for the weekend, as during the rest of the week, I am working. It would definitely be problematic for me if you insist and do not understand the spirit of Couchsurfing. We would have enough time to share experiences during the weekend. My house is not meant to be a place to stay just for one night.

My main interests include languages, discussing culture, movies, books, music, technology, food, travel, and natural resources. I enjoy photography, even though I am not a professional, and I really like to discuss books, languages, astronomy, psychology, philosophy, neuroscience, music, and movies.

I enjoy cross-over styles and soft rock, pop, country, or folk music from different countries, as well as classical music. Regarding classical composers, I have not yet decided if I prefer Mozart, Chopin, Liszt, Beethoven, Wagner, or Verdi. I love to listen to dance, electronic, and chill-out music while driving because it energizes me, makes me feel happy, and keeps me excited.

As for books, I don't have a favorite, but I enjoy reading everything. I particularly like science fiction literature, epic literature, historical literature, mystery novels, as well as various science magazines, Reader's Digest, National Geographic, travel magazines, and anything else that comes my way. I have a passion for maps, compasses, flags, and everything related to the countries of the world and their geography.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Actually, every day is amazing, even in the routine. Anyway, I still manage to surprise myself.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy sharing with people of all ages, both young and old. I believe that most of the time, we can have interesting conversations with people traveling around the world, regardless of their age, color, or religion. The only thing we need to focus on is respect for each other.

What I Can Share with Hosts
