ABOUT ME

I am a pretty laid-back Chilean expat living in Norway who loves travelling and meeting new and interesting people.
I'm an art historian, but work as a bureaucrat (until now). In my spare time I run a blog about street art and when I have time I pretend being a writer for other magazines.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I moved so I don't have a spare room anymore, but I do have a couch. In case that's enough for you. Hit me with a message and we will see if I have space/time :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I havent used the couchsurfing system too much, but I had a pleasant experience in Buenos Aires last time I was there and I could totally recommend it.
It allows you to meet new and interesting people and share a bit more than expenses.

Interests

I am interested in contemporary art, literature, politics, music, film and travelling. I spent a lot of my spare time running a blog about (mainly) street art. I also also occasionally write for other websites, also (mainly) street art and contemporary art. I also enjoy a long hike and nature, avid runner until a knee injury last June :(((
