CURRENT MISSION

South America

ABOUT ME

Up until this past summer, I knew almost nothing of South America, and absolutely nothing about Chile. I lived a pretty normal life, working all day, partying all nights with my friends, and living a pretty simple life. One day it hit me there has to be more to the world than this so my good friend and I quit out jobs, briefly researched South America, and booked a one way ticket to Lima, Peru. Our main goal: do a giant circuit of the whole continent, with extensive time in Chile and especially Patagonia.
I am a very relaxed guy and love the outdoors as well as huge cities. I am always down to party, always down to try to new foods, and always ready for an adventure in the outdoors from kayaking to climbing and trekking.

PHILOSOPHY

right now i just got a new tattoo with a personal thought
" Solo Dios Puede Juzgarme"

i also live by another philosophy but you have to get to know me to find that one out.

Update 2017: Now 8 years later, still in South America

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

After about 4 months here in South America I am finally signing up for this. Ive heard people talking about it from the begining but only now realize how much of a great idea it is. Right now I cant really host anybody because my home is thousands of kilometers away, but surfing and spreading the word is good enough for now.
