About Me

I'm from Chile and now I'm travelling though Canada from West to East coast.

I worked for 6 years in my country in a multinational company, everything was perfect, but the life is more than that. Since I visited New Zealand in 2009 (my first travel abroad) my life changed radically. I try to, and I actually do , travel every year during my vacation period.
This year (2017) I got in my job a one-year permit to travel wherever I want, and I chose Canada, that is why I'm here!

I haven't used couchsurfing before because most of the times I have traveled I have used hostels. Some other times I stay in friend's houses I met in previous trips. In New Zealand I had the first "couchsurfing" experience when I meet a "kiwi-couple" in a city called Tauranga. We worked together packing kiwifruits. At the end of the season they invited me to live with them, it was amazing!

I created my profile last year, but 2 week ago I met two girls from Brazil in Banff. We travelled a bit and they encouraged me to use this community.
