Overview
About Me
We are a chilean couple currently living in Barcelona. Both of us came here to study.
Isidora is a teacher for young kids doing a Master in Intervention in Learning Difficulties meanwhile I am an Engineer and doing an MBA
I used to work at an Airline (7 years), and during that time were able to travel to various cities and countries, which allowed us to make friends and to experience new adventures.
At the current moment, because we are studying and living in a very small place in Barcelona, hosting people is a little bit difficult, hosting will depend very much on our studying assignments (time and silence is precious at the current time), but you can always write me.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Currently we began using CS because we are planning on travelling after we finish our studies in Barcelona.
Before heading back to Chile we will be travelling for a few months, mainly through South East Asia. This has been one of our goal after finishing our studies and we are very excited about it. This will probably be one of the most important things that we have reached in our lives.

Music, Movies, and Books
- My favourite band at the current moment is Muse, even though I like most music, even classical. I really enjoy just instrumental music... for me sometimes the lyrics are not necessary.
- Books: The Gambler (F. Dostoevsky) and The King of Torts (J. Grisham)
- Movies: Interestellar, Inception (The soundtrack is amazing), The Departed, Notting Hill
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I once jumped off a plane (skydiving). This was very exciting and really enjoyed this, you could see the curvature of the earth... yes it's curved!!! I had 55 second of free falling to look at it!!!
I algo got my diving licence in Thailand a few years ago... and once participated in an Airbus A340 test flight... full throttle descent!!! Air Force One Style!!!
Teach, Learn, Share
- Teach: I'm very good at teaching things that I know., very good doing handiwork, so if you have anything broken at your place I will try my best to fix it.
- Learn: Always willing to learn new thing (reason why I am now currently studying) and sharing experiences are always welcome for me. I would really like to learn how to brew beer.
-Share: willingness and positivism to overcome difficulties.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Recently (2015) I was diagnosed with some health difficulties and after getting through it, it changed my mind about things and now I really know my self. This has help me to be more easy going and to enjoy what i have and also what I'm doing.
