Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm new to Couchsurfing website but really old on a Couch surfing lifestyle. I love to travel, have been to over 20 countries, many times hitting on friends' couches, tents or spare rooms.

Until recently I had my own apartment in Santiago, where I hosted several friends and people that requested a roof or a guide to show them the city. I think that both traveling and hosting travelers are such a good way to share experiences.

I'm looking forward to giving back to the world all the help I've got on my trips and continue exchanging more.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like electronic music, Hip-hop, and indie pop. I think I´m pretty much into all kinds of music, except Heavy Metal.

In terms of books, I really enjoy non-fiction chronicles. Latino authors Pedro Lemebel and Martín Caparrós are some of my favorites.

Since I´m a journalist, I love good articles too. That´s actually what I read the most.

To hear: The Blaze, Lorde, Gorillaz, Charles Bradley, St. Paul and the Broken Bones, Jorge González, Juan Gabriel, Alex Anwandter, Bomba Estéreo, Lucho Gatica, and the list goes on and on.
