Hi everyone, my name is Joan! I grew up in Santiago, Chile but I lived in Valparaiso and Viña del Mar for the last 9 years, where I studied Geography.

I`m a quiet guy, I love to spend my time doing a lot of sports, especially climbing which is one of my passion. I enjoy so much of nature so I try to take all the opportunities that I can. I define myself as someone that loves to be an integral person, who learns new things and discovers new worlds, words, people, and places every day. Someone that tries to cultivate the spirit, mind, and body. For the same reason, I`m really tidy and clean (sometimes extremely), minimalist, and I can live in a simple way. It`s fine is the home is small, the most important is has a big heart.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to receive and know new people, as well I like to share with people of other countries and cultures and if is possible to learn or practice a language, let`s do it.
Also, I like to travel to new places and I think what is better than be received by local people.
