Hi!
I'm a chilien guy living and working in Paris since almost 10 years now (June 2007). I work making characters in video games, games cinematics, advertising and figurines. I'm also a teacher in some french CG schools.
When I'm not in France, I'm sharing with my family in Chile.

If you don't get what I do for living, you can take a look at my portfolio.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, traveling is not just going somewhere and taking pictures of some famous monuments. My dearest memories while traveling are those of the people I met while doing some ordinary stuff, like talking with a salary man for hours in restaurant in Kyoto.
So, I think I'm in here to meet open minded people and share experiences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

jumping in parachute, leaving my home country to come alone to France without much money, staying awake for three days... crazy experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you everything you need to know about creating characters for movies or games. I like to spend time drawing. I love to make portraits, playing guitar, sculpting with clay and taking pictures, so I can also show you some of that stuff or create something together.
If you are interested in learning spanish or french, I can teach you the basics.
I'm not very good with cooking, but I have some chilean and french recipes to share.
If you play some strange musical instrument, I'm interested in meeting you already.

bonus! I'm a big Street Fighter fan (the video game, not fighting in the streets, of course...).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm usually quiet but, if you scratch the surface, I'm the kind of personne that can talk for hours. I really enjoy having deep talks and just learning to know and understand all kind of people, mostly the ones that don't think like I do.
