Hey, I’m Agustín my IG is @aguxtin_ — I was born in Spain, raised in Chile 🇪🇸🇨🇱
I’m 22 years old and currently studying Industrial Engineering. I’d say I’m pretty easygoing, curious, and always up for discovering new places and meeting interesting people.
I’m heading to Edinburgh for a semester abroad and planning to travel around the UK and Europe whenever I can. I love wandering around cities, checking out museums, vintage shops, restaurants, and local bars — anything that gives a real sense of the place.
Back in Chile, I run a small second-hand clothing project on Instagram where we sell designer and vintage pieces at accessible prices to fight fast fashion. I’ve always been into clothes, art, and design — I like the idea that what we wear or create can say something about who we are.
I’m also really into photography, both film and digital — I like capturing small details or moments from everyday life, especially when I travel. I enjoy good conversations, cooking for others, and spending time with people who are open-minded and spontaneous.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because hotels don’t teach you about people.
I love the idea of discovering a city through locals, finding hidden places, and making genuine connections.
As a student, I also travel on a budget — but more than saving money, I’m here to meet kind people, practice my English, and share good moments.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a mix of stuff — mostly Alvvays, Björk, Lana Del Rey, C. Tangana, and The Marías. Depends on the mood, really.
I’m into movies that actually make you feel something — anything by Pedro Almodóvar or Luca Guadagnino usually does the trick.
I like reading, though I wouldn’t say I have “favorites.” The last book that really stuck with me (for better or worse) was A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

At university, we built a solar-powered thermocollector that provided hot water to a low-income community living in informal housing, seeing how engineering can help and improve the quality of life of people was an amazing experience!
Surfed in the capital of surf -Pichilemu, Slept in one of the most beautiful beaches in the world - Varadero (the day after I had the worst mosquitoes bites of my life but was worth it)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some Spanish or a bit of Chilean slang, and I’m always happy to cook something simple and good.
I’d like to get better at English, pick up new recipes, and just share stories or hang out.
Mostly, I just enjoy connecting with others, laughing, and discover new cultures.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I really enjoy cooking — anything from pasta and seafood to typical Chilean food.
My go-to dish is creamy chicken with mashed potatoes and mushrooms, simple but always a hit.
I also make pretty good drinks (I used to bartend a bit).
Mostly, I just like cooking together, talking, and enjoying a chill evening.
