Hola mis amigos!

I am Mauricio or Maurice, whatever you want to call me, I won't get offended. I am a 31 year old Chilean guy who has been travelling since I was 25. I have visited many places around the globe and met many interesting people who have taught me different things about their culture, lifestyle and the way they see their lives. Now, my whole view of my life is based on past experiences and interactions.

I define myself as a friendly, laid-back, easy going, respectful, funny and spontaneous guy. I enjoy going for walks, socializing, drinking beer/wine, eating, playing board games or just doing nothing .

I've a bachelor's degree in Education, so I am a teacher of English. I have not been able to work as a teacher that much but it is okay.

I am currently living in Australia.

Lots of love and hugs :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

"The best way of transport to know a country is their people" that's my motto. I like meeting people while Couchsurfing. I think people have so much to give: life stories, travel experiences, future desires, wishes, ambitions and so on... I am all ears to hear those stories and try to get inspiration from them to keep our trip and also try to contribute in their lives meaningfully.

Interests

I like trekking, taking pictures, cooking , drawing, watching series and movies and the one I enjoy most: drinking coffee.
