ABOUT ME
I was born in Santiago as the second child of a small family. I grew up happily playing with my sister, friends and cousins. I was a good student in school but a little bit naughty, always laughing and talking... I finish school and then I studied Sound Engineering in an Art School where I met lots of friend, some of my work mates right now. I studied Script Writing aswell. I am creative and I am always doing something related with arts. I had some girlfriends in my life but now I am single. I love to travel. I have traveled in South America and South Asia.
I have lots of friends. I consider myself a friendly and honest guy.
PHILOSOPHY
I believe in the Present Tense and the power of NOW. I love to feel alive enjoying whatever I do, even if is a small thing. I like to believe in a better world where everybody can feel good and happy whatever the life they choose. I believe in freedom of thinking and human rights. I consider myself a sensitive human being who cares about humanity and nature.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have the profile of a couchsurfer because I like to take care of foreigners and show them my city as a local, show the places that I use to go, sometimes not so popular for tourist but for the same reason interesting for people in this platform. My apartment is located in a privileged location.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I tried twice couchsurfing when I was living in New Zealand. Both cases in Dunedin, South Island. The first one was ok, but the guy was mostly all the time outside the house so I was alone. The second was really nice because the guy introduced me his friends and we went to a small club where his friends were playing music.
