I was born in Chile and I lived in Paris, San Juan of Puerto Rico, Brussels in Belgium and several places in France (including Clermont-Ferrand and Lyon). Today I am settled in Paris since I am looking for a new job (at present I am free-lance).
Do not hesitate to contact me, especially people from Americas. I will be very happy to welcome you in Paris, eventually propose you a couchsurfing and show you some weird places in "the City of lights". Looking forward to meeting you :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I prefer to get in touch with people (human relations) sharing together and setting-up nice and true human relations, vs. our capitalist society that highlight a lot of "dark sides" of human beings, unfortunately...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling almost 10 times to Latin America (trips from 6 to 4 months from 1994 to 1999, altogether summing-up to almost 2 years). Alone or in couple, as "backpacker".

I used to go back to Latin-America later on, during 1999, due to temporal jobs asTour Guide-Leader for an alternative and solidar French NGO, organizing trips with small groups of adults to Guatemala, and Peru.

Therefore, during all these experiences of life, I have been 4 times in the amazing place of Machu Picchu !

One of the amazing thing I've done was also to stand on the ecuador-line (in Ecuador); one leg standing in the southern hemisphere and the other standing on the northern hemisphere !!! ;-)

Teach, Learn, Share

I have always something to share !!! I do not like the word "Teach" because we have always something to share and to learn from somebody else on a horizontal basis, between "peers".
I can share:
. Latin American cooking,
. Tasting beers, wines, whiskies,
. Every kind of funny discussions.

What I Can Share with Hosts

. My hability to talk about everyhtand nothing...
. My passion for cooking (world wide plates especially from Mexico and Chile...)
. Interesting discussions but also talking about everything and nothing...
