CURRENT MISSION

Overland South America

ABOUT ME

Pretty easygoing person. I am interested in culture, history, geography, food, farming, building, and photography.

I completed a 18 months tour of Asia in Nov 2011. I loved specially Thailand, Nepal, Japan, Pakistan and Iran.

I have been farming in Japan, Thailand and Sri Lanka. I got very interested in organic farming and nutrition in general.

I had the chance to do lot of trekking in Nepal, and see Everest. I hope I can do more trekking soon.

I spent 2012 in Canada. I was working on a ranch in Calgary. We grew barley, hay, had cows in pasture and some resident horses. The experience was great.

I have been hired to work as a tour leader for a UK based overland tour company. I have been contracted to work in south america. It's great as when I used to live in Chile, I couldn't go around much due to my job in Santiago.

Meet me to know more!

PHILOSOPHY

I like this chinese proverb: "Learn as if you lived forever. Live as if you die tomorrow"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am on the move constantly for work, so I am unable to host. At this time I am looking at group meetings mostly, in south america

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A CS user contacted me to surf my couch few years ago and ended staying my place for a month. We then travelled together for a while. Was definitely a match, and hope will repeat agin, and again.
I attended quite a few meetings in Auckland, and went on days out with the guys, was great.
Went to a few parties with CSers in Calgary
I hope to meet a lots of CSers on the way

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Done: 24 hrs race in French Alps years ago...90km race (running) 4 years ago, but that's nothing compared to what many people do in this world helping others in distress.
Seen: so many,...enjoyed this year the colour of scenery in Western Australia..will have to come back to do the desert crossing.
Got to update this box..one day..
