About Me

Im a passionate traveller, host and surfer, i love being involved with others and being able to connect in a real life with long lasting experiences more than superficial ones. Ive been a couchsurfer for almost 10 years now, and plan to keep on doing so.

I spend a lot of my time at work, im a medical doctor for profession, i work at a local university during my week and aslo on weekends and nights I work at emercency rescues on an ambulance.

Despite all that, i get good amount of free time where i like to relax, workout a little, and mostly spend time with my family.

I am deeply in love with travelling, and love everyhing about it (maybe too much), while doing it as much as i can. I live in Concepción, a relatively big city for Chile, nice and quiet, yet, there´s still much to do.

CURRENT MISSION

Knowing the world... and the meaning of being human...

ABOUT ME

All about me?? tough one... tho i consider that meeting someone in person is a lot more meaningfull than reading a profile... anyway...
I'm a traveller, phylosopher, lover of nature and science, i love wondering about things all around me and learning more and more... I like studying peoples behaviors and their motivations towards life...
I have no pets, and I dont smoke. I'm really easy going, trully open minded, and quite selfsuficient. Im very quiet, and respectful, but have quite a sense of humor... I love laughin and smiling! i feel thats when ur trully living! I enjoy sharing drinks with friends but im no heavy drinker unless I plan to ...

PHILOSOPHY

Love is the most wonderfull thing there is... love life and everything in it...
Love unconditionally and you shall have peace...

On Movies, I am more of the easy going funny and a lot of action movies, just have fun watching them and not complicate myself in them... But i do enjoy these mind twisting unexpected turn of event movies when u end up like... woooow...
Im not big fan of books, but i will recommend people to read Eckard Tolle's "The power of Now".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The best experiences always involve relating with others...

HitchHiked in Capadoccia (Turkey) among dirt roads and ended up visiting my driver´s small shack next to his grape fields and enyoing the evening chating and sipping tea.

Climbed mount Sinai (same as the Bible), spend the night having to cuddle with strangers in order not to freeze and then seeing the sunrise from top.

Shared small baked potatoes cooked in ashes with Vietnamese children (dirtiests kids i´ve ever seen) in a small and extremely poor rural school on top of a hill in northern Vietnam, completetly non turistic, without being ask for any money... just sharing...

Found the true meaning of life...

Teach, Learn, Share

I like sharing my medicine knowledge with people so they understand better how the body works...
Could teach you spanish if you like...
If you like we can also share deep topics in the world of craziness and reality...
I Love learning about other countries History, I love cooking so im always open to learn new recipies, and of all, i love learning new languages!!!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Fun, exciting and sometimes too deep conversations. Share travels stories. Share cooking recipes and techniches. Culture exchange and language practice. And of course, if needed, i can always share my medical knowledge...
