Currently on the road with my significant (Chilean) other :) María Jose is a nurse and I'm an English teacher. MJ is from chile and we met while I was living there. We lived together for a year and now we're traveling together from Chile to Australia through North America, Africa, Europe and Asia.

Personally...I love to surf and travel. I studied business administration at Loyola Univeristy, Maryland. I bartended part-time for thirsty college students. After graduating I worked in business for 2 years, didn't like it, bartended for a little, then moved to Chile. I was a volunteer English teacher for a year in a small town in the Atacama desert situated on the ocean. From there I continued to teach English and eventually started my own English Institute teaching "fun English" to kids, doing English summer camps, and even teaching at a copper mine my last year.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I'll be traveling soon and would like to find alternatives to Hostels and Hotels. I'd like to meet locals and try to get to know authentic local culture.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I'm a great assistant chef and decent head chef ;) I always do my own dishes and don't mind helping with cleaning up or shopping. I can help you with your English as I'm an English teacher and if you want to go surfing, vamos! I can mix a good cocktail with the right ingredients :)
