About Me

I'm a person who finally decided to make my first trip alone this year (2015) with the purpose of meet other kind of people and lifestyles.
I'm very easygoing and if we know each other you will realised that I can be happy with just a cup of tea in a park. Most of the time I am in a good mood, and sometimes I like to do absurd and ridiculuos things.
In Chile I've been working in theatre mostly, making the design of scenography and lightning. I also worked in a stop motion tv serie and some shortfilms. I love miniatures and models and handcrafted stuff.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't really have any experience at coachsurfing, but it seems to be a very original way to travel, mostly because you stay with people who lived and knows the city much better than the tourists who are just passing by the place. And I´m interested in meeting the touristic places but also the city of the residents.

Interests

Take architecture pictures, maybe do some sketching, drink tea, eat cakes and candys and chocolates, drink the local beer, listen to music (better if it's live), musical instruments, talk about movies, aliens, ghosts and paranormal stories and experiences, the local history. Meet every museum, traditional and contemporary art, astronomy, science.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music from the first decades of the XXth century, jazz, blues, swing, rock & roll, 60s, 70s, some of the 80s.
If the music includes any kind of classical instrument much better!.
I also loved movies soundtracks, Hans Zimmer, James newton howard, Clint Mansell, Alexandre Desplat, Gustavo Santaolalla are some of my favourites.
Classical music, Gypsy music, indie, bossanova, buenavista social club, nueva canción chilena, etc. My playlist is very mixed, because I love music.

I also love movies so it's very difficult to pick some films. Lately I've been watching the Werner Herzog documentals and he is one of my favourite directors. I like epic, black humor, historical, fantastic, paranormal, mistery, criminal, surreal, stop motion and artistic series and movies.

And books I loved has almost the same terms as movies, I've been reading a lot of stories by H.P Lovecraft, E.A Poe, Arthur Machen, A. Blackwood among others scary and mistery writers.
Dostoievski, Gabriel García Márquez, José Donoso, Capote, Salinger, Tolkien, Umberto Eco are some of other writers I like and now I'm trying Hermann Hesse.
