I'm a filmmaker from Chile spending a week in NYC looking for a place to crash and hopefully someone who can point me in the direction of interesting places to visit and things to do.

I grew up in Miami and moved to Chile when I was 13. Been living there ever since.

I'm very laid back, easygoing and openminded.

I can't cook but I'm more than willing to do the dishes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It seems like a unique way to meet new people and experience new places

Interests

I'm really into music. I can play the drums and the guitar moderately well. My favorite instrument is the piano even though i can't really play it. I love going to see live shows.

I love animals, particularly dogs. i like cats but i'm mildly allergic to them so i tend to avoid them when possible.

I like sports in general. A good sports match is always fun to watch.
