About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Searching the borneo's treasure...

ABOUT ME

I was born in Chile, I have two brothers and I'm the youngest one...my parents are chileans, very nice people. I'm a relaxed guy. I like to travel, to meet people, talk, talk, talk and share experiencies...about trips and life itself. I'm a frustated writer, but it´s ok, jeje. And I love music. I have a blues band in Chile, where I play the drums and the guitar. We love to play blues...wich is pure feeling and soul. In the blues you don´t need great lyrics..the lyrics is in the music, in the fingers, connected with the guitarman's soul...I loved to read, I loved when people recommends me new writers or new music...I´m allways searching surprises...you can find it anywhere...

PHILOSOPHY

live and let it lives...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can participate in the community hosting other people. I see the CS2 Project like a way to share experiencies. Not just like a simple hostel. The sense of this project is about living the country in a short time, but with the people that lives there...
