About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I love to meet people, learn their culture and language, travel a lot and have adventures

ABOUT ME

I am a person who loves adventure and nature
I am passionate about adventure and exploration. From the big (elaborate trips planned for a year, learning new skills, changing paths in life) to the medium (last-minute road trips, showing someone new around your city, checking something off your bucket list) to the small (going to a new part of town, trying a new restaurant or bar, meeting someone random).

I love the feeling you get when life surprises you and expands your view of the world. The only thing that comes close is the feeling when you get to show that experience to someone else.

PHILOSOPHY

"The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled." Plutarco

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to meet people all around the world to learn from them and their culture, I will also love to show people who come around the wonders of the city I live and take the time to share a cofee or a drink.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Born and grown up in cochabamba (bolivia ), 100 kilometers from the rainforest, on a wonderful city gifted by nature, a paradise.
I started travelling at the age of 7 years, when I left my hometown to spend three months in argentine with family ,
I moved to santigo de chile 7 years, to study at the university,.
Then again, I spent some months in uruguay for vacations. Punta del este is a magic and fascinating city.
i was living with a korean family, This amazing experience, with my lovely host family and the wonderful friends I met have definitely influenced my subsequent decisions.
