I studied architecture though I currently dedicate fulltime to art, plus love sports. So on one side I love art, music, literature, poetry and culture, and on the other I have a great passion for outdoor sports as running, swimming, cycling, kayaking, rock climbing and trekking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find it awesome to stay with local hosts and also to help and give home and guide to travellers. I am very grateful to be part of this community of sharing and helping.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Training and racing my first Half Ironman in Sunshine Coast, Australia.
From becoming a not so good runner to actually completing my first Ironman 70.3 was a real accomplishment for me, plus counting with the happy support of my friends, family and couch surfers who hosted us. A big step towards achieving my goal of doing complete Ironmans.
Another amazing thing was a spontaneous journey we did with three other friends when we went trekking in the Region of Reloncavi in the South of Chile. We discovered amazing natural landscapes and such generous local people who hosted us.
Also trekking in the Torres del Paine National Park was something to always remember, specially when you reach the glaciers of the South Icefields.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love sharing my motivation for sports (thats why I used to be a couch and sport captain) and also my way of seeing things from an artistic perspective, that why I love teaching art. In teaching and sharing, though you may believe you are the teacher, you discover sometimes you become the pupil and you always learn something back.

What I Can Share with Hosts
