Heyyyy! I'm Gonzalo.

-------- CURRENT MISSION -----------

I’m on my way back to Chile after living in Australia, trying to make the journey mostly overland. From Timor Leste I’ll continue through Southeast Asia, South Asia, Central Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, Europe, and finally across the Americas until reaching home.

---------------------------------------------

I'm a traveler, a dentist back home in Chile, Handpoke Tattoo Artist. Over the years, I've lived in several countries such as: Spain, USA, Denmark, Germany, Australia and South Korea.

I volunteered in Peru, deep in the Amazonas jungle at Parque Nacional Pacaya Samiria, helping build an Eco Lodge for a small community. I've also had unique experiences like working on a Goat farm in Ausserferrara, Switzerland, and spending time at a hostel in Dubrovnik, Croatia (which stole my heart)

I discovered my passion for handpoke tattoos years ago while living in Denmark during the Corona times, and it's something I truly enjoy :)

I also have experience as a barista, so I'd be happy to prepare some coffe!

What I love the most about traveling is connecting with locals, immersing myself in their culture, trying new foods, enjoying music, and exploring the outdoors. (I love hiking and long walks)

Always up for a coffee or a beer, you'll find I'm really easygoing ✌🏽

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had always such amazing experiences hosting and being host in CS
I made really good friends from all over the world.
This is definitively a great platform to connect travelers and help each other.
