About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See everything, listen to everything, eat everything, drink everything, smoke some things, then go back to Canada and have people do all that stuff on my couch

ABOUT ME

I'm 27 and living and studying/working in Montreal, Canada. I finished my bachelor's degree in communication in 2006, traveled for nearly a year, worked for a couple and now I'm doing further studies in Montreal. Can't wait to travel again! I was born in Canada, but my parents are Chilean, so I speak Spanish, as well as French and English. I like having a good time (who doesn't), and gettin' down. You can take that however you like.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to the absolute fullest, take every opportunity that is presented to you or you may end up with regrets.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had couchsurfing experiences in Turin, Italy twice and twice in Dublin, Ireland. All my hosts were amazing, very welcoming and accommodating. I've made friends and I recommend this little project to you all. I have also met fellow couchsurfers in my own city, which has been very interesting and a great time.

Interests

Playing piano,
Tennis (all racket sports),

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies - The Usual Suspects is sweet-ass, and if you've been an exchange student l'Auberge Espagnole is right up your alley
Books - good books are the bomb, The History of Progress, Paris 1919, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, John LeCarré's stuff is good, now reading George Monbiot's "Heat" great research on climate change and global warming

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

First couchsurfing was to the Olympics in Torino, Italy! I saw a Canadian win and be awarded a gold medal and sang the national anthem in a crowd of Italians! Go Canada Go!

Teach, Learn, Share

If you get some crud on your hands and have nowhere to wipe it, wipe it on your socks, no one ever looks there and they're done at the end of a day (or two). More valuable lessons to come.
