"Happiness is only real when shared".

Aloha! My name is Tiago, I’m a 30 years old Brazilian, living in Chile for the past 4 years with my Chilean wife Magdalena. We’ve met in a working & holiday trip to Hawaii and we’ve been together for 7 years now.

I’m an Information Technology consultant, more specifically a CRM consultant. My job gave me the opportunity to live in different countries in Latin America and to come to Chile to be with my beloved wife.

The things I most enjoy in life are Soccer (big fan of Palmeiras), Cooking, Traveling, Photography, Good music, Good books, Good friends, a cup of coffee or a cup of wine, laughing...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I love discovering new cultures, people, recipes with all their colors and flavors.

We (my wife and I) would be very pleased to receive people in our house. Maybe we can cook together, go to a soccer match or just chat about life and hear about your stories and life experience.. :)
