We are a Chilean couple that really enjoy to travel around the world, discovering cities, hide places and people. Cata is Physiotherapist and I am Architect and we got married 2 years ago.
We are always planning to visit different places and we have travelled to many countries arround America and Europe with low budget... Currently we are studying MSc programs in London, and one of the reasons why we decided to come to study here is because or passion for travel.

Our favorite quote: “In quoting others, we cite ourselves.” (Cortazar)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We believe that the main richness of travel is to discover new cultures and its people... Couchsurfing without doubt is a community through which is possible to travel in the way that we love, avoiding the "typical tourist" way.

Interests

Cata as physiotherapist, she loves to work with people and be able to do something to improve their quality of life... always enjoing and learning from the relation with her patients and from their experiences and histories. She also likes sports (volleyball, running, cycling, outdoors) and she is an expert knitter.

I am interested in the world around the communitarian instances: the people and their relation. As a social architect I am also interested in participation, empowerment and architecture designed with the people.

Our interest as a couple... we love outdoor activities! especially camping, trekking, and picnic... Chile has great natural settings that just can be discovered by this way... and we have been in many of them!! We also love dancing (we try our best! jaja), ski, theatre, culture, cinema, art...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It is difficult to resume amazing things done just in one... One of them was our honey moon as backpackers in Europe... ah! and we also traveled to the Juan Fernandez island in a very old ship of the chilean army!

Teach, Learn, Share

We think that we have a lot of to share and so much to learn!!
We want to learn about others, their experiences, their culture, their histories... We want to bring the other's worlds to our home and of course share who we are and have too...

What I Can Share with Hosts

We want to share with our hosts the amazing spots that we have discovered in London, we want to show them how to survive and enjoy the city with a low budget (is not easy!)... and if someone is planning to visit Southamerica (especially Chile, we are chile-lovers! jaja ) we have a looot to share! ;)
