About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet people from all over the world and gain from the cultural exchange

ABOUT ME

Ever since I heard about CS I got hooked up with the idea and its goal. For me travelling it is not just about visiting or going places... it is also about knowing people from those places; to know from them; share a story, a laugh, a good moment, whatever.
What about me? I'm pretty easygoing, very friendly, honest, open minded; all in all I guess you can say that I'm a stand up guy... a bloke who likes to spend his free time with friends and family and also who likes to read, to have a good conversation, watch movies or TV series, listening to music, to travel and much more.

I'm now living in Santiago, Chile and I'll be here for quite a while.
I'm fluent in both Spanish and English - for obvious reasons my Spanish is better.
I like sports a lot, rugby the most. I still play it (amateur). Besides rugby I also like to play tennis every once in a while.
If you want to know anything else... just ask and I'll try to reply asap.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live. I can't think of anything else to add to that. I believe the world'd be a better place if we all do that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

You're more than welcome to stay in my flat for a few days, just let me know a few days in advance. Like a week or so at least.
Check the Couch Information for more details.

I'm new to the city so I wouldn't know much about where to go and what do but I'll try to make some time to share a cup of coffee and a nice talk or just to hang out.

I'm also part of the Buenos Aires and Santiago Groups and I try to get involve in as many events and meetings as possible. That is because the CS Buenos Aires Group is an amazing thing; I try to get together with fellow member as much as I can - also here in the BA Group we've got activities and stuff to do pretty much everyday of the week (at least I used to when I was back home)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far it's been awsome. I can't complain. I wish I had known about CS earlier. I've met tons of people. Became friends with a lot of them (locals and foreigners). Heard some great stories; I got amazing travel information and tips; and much more.
I've been having a great time non-stop since I joined.
