About Me

I'm travelling through Latin America. I started in February 2018 during the carnival in Rio de Janeiro and headed south to Ushuaia with stops in Foz do Iguacu and Buenos Aires. I spent some time in El Calafate, Bariloche and Mendoza until April 2018. Since then I stayed in Chile, mostly Santiago, Valparaiso, Viña de Mar, La Serena and Vicuña.
Soon I will start to work in Santiago.

Meeting a lot of travelers from all over the world during my stays in Hostels is quite fun, but I really enjoy experience the friendship of local people and share their culture.
Until now, there is no limit to my journey and I hope there ain't no in sight for a long time.
I like to relax, doing sport, cook and eat fresh and tasty food, have fun and do adventures.

I started a blog about my journey for my friends, family and myself. Check it out and enjoy :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Instead of doing touristic tours, I learnt to enjoy staying with local people much more. As I usually speak the common language in the country I stay in, I get in touch very fast with the culture.
Apart of being a guest, I usually try to give something back in being a good company, cooking for friends or being a helping hand in other stuff.
