Hey guys!

My name is Jose. Born and raised in Guatemala City, Guatemala, but a traveler at heart. Ever since I could I've been traveling as often as I can. I find one grows as a person and in my case as a designer by traveling, meeting new people, and basically just experiencing new things. I've lived most of my life in Guatemala City but I've also lived for long periods of time in Dallas-USA, Auckland New Zealand and I'm currently living in Santiago-Chile.

At the moment I can't host anyone but I'm more than willing to meet up and show people around!

¡Hola todos!

Me llamo José. Nací y crecí en la Ciudad de Guatemala, Guatemala, pero soy un viajero permanente de corazón. Desde que he tenido la oportunidad he viajado lo más que he podido. Considero que uno crece mucho como persona y en mi casa, como diseñador, al viajar, conocer de nuevas culturas y personas, y básicamente experimentar cosas nuevos. Aunque he vivido la mayor parte de mi vida en la Ciudad de Guatemala, he vivido por periodos por periodos prolongados de tiempo también en Dallas-E.E.U.U, Auckland-Nueva Zelanda y en este momento en Santiago-Chile.

Por el momento no puedo ofrecer alojamiento pero estoy más que dispuesto a juntarse por unas cervezas y mostrar un poco de la ciudad.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
