Hi everyone! My name is Matías, I'm a vegetarian teacher of English. As many travelers, I wouldn't like to follow a traditional and absorbing way of life, which is the reason I work as a freelancer. What I enjoy the most is to socialize with the Hare Krishna devotees, who help me try to understand who I am and what is my purpose here. I also like to travel by hitchhiking, to know the way different people live, and to explore beautiful landscapes. I'm a volunteer in a NGO called 'The Original Kingdom of the Spoon Revolution' which tries to create conciousness on how to change the world being a vegetarian. Finally, I play the guitar in a small rock band called 'Los Costello'.

Hola a todos! Mi nombre es Matías, soy vegetariano y profesor de inglés. No me gustaría vivir un estilo de vida tradicional y absorbente, por lo que no tengo un trabajo fijo por el momento. Lo que más disfruto es asociarme con los devotos Hare Krishna, quienes me ayudan a tratar de descubrir quien soy y para qué vine a este mundo, además me gusta mochilear, conocer el modo de vida de la gente en otros lugares y lindos paisajes. Soy voluntario en una asociación sin fines de lucro llamada 'La Revolución de la Cuchara' que busca crear conciencia para poder cambiar un poquito este mundo siendo vegetariano. Por último, toco guitarra en una pequeña banda de rock llamada "Los Costello".
