About Me

¡Hola, comunidad de Couchsurfing! 🤙

Soy del país donde se encuentra la caída de agua más alta del mundo, llamada “Salto Ángel”.

¿Adivinaste?

Vivo en la ciudad de Santiago, capital de Chile 🇨🇱. Soy ingeniero de profesión y copywriter por pasión (tengo un cerebro creativo y lógico al mismo tiempo), autodidacta y con sed de conocimiento. Me gusta aprender y conocer sobre cosas que van más allá de lo cotidiano.

Me gustan los deportes extremos y cualquier plan relacionado a estar en contacto con la naturaleza. Amante de la lectura y de las charlas genuinas.

Me considero un ciudadano del mundo y pienso que las “fronteras” entre países sólo existen en los mapas.

Me apasionan los viajes, pero no exactamente esos de clase “turista”, sino aquellos que van más allá de conocer lugares populares; esos donde realmente se pueda sentir la vibra cultural local, y eso solo se experimenta con las personas correctas. (Por esa razón estoy aquí🌎).

🚨ADVERTENCIA🚨
Aunque no soy chef, ten por seguro que una buena arepa te podré ofrecer, ¡te lo aseguro!

NOTA IMPORTANTE 👇
*No busco solo alojamiento, busco inmersión e intercambio con locales y otros viajeros para crear una experiencia REAL de viaje*

…¡Pura Vida! ✌

Hi Couchsurfing community! 🤙

I'm from the country where the highest waterfall in the world is located, called "Angel Falls."

Can you guess which country that is?

I live in Santiago, the capital of Chile 🇨🇱 . I'm an engineer by profession and a copywriter by passion (I have a creative and logical mind). I'm self-taught and always eager to learn. I enjoy exploring and discovering things beyond the ordinary.

I love extreme sports and any activity that connects me with nature. I'm a book lover and enjoy genuine conversations.

I consider myself a citizen of the world, and I believe that "borders" between countries only exist on maps. I'm passionate about traveling, but not the typical "tourist" kind. I prefer experiences that go beyond visiting popular tourist spots; those that allow me to truly feel the local culture, and that can only be experienced with the right people. (That's why I'm here 🌎).

🚨WARNING🚨
Although I'm not a chef, I can guarantee you a delicious arepa!

IMPORTANT NOTE 👇
*I'm not just looking for accommodation; I'm looking for immersion and interaction with locals and other travelers to create a truly authentic travel experience.*

…Pura Vida! ✌

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Primero decir para que NO estoy:

❌ Alojamiento gratis
❌ Wifi gratis

✅ Mantener el concepto de -comunidad de apoyo- entre viajeros
✅ Conocer la cultura local
✅ Intercambio de idiomas
✅ Cooperar en actividades y tareas
✅... y todo lo que sea positivo.

✅ Collaborating on activities and tasks
✅ ...and anything else that's positive.
