I am a Chilean architect, currently doing a PhD in the Netherlands, so I will be around this hemisphere for some years. I am based in Rotterdam.

I enjoy a nice slow breakfast. Music always present. Art, cinema (there is a nice one near my house), nature, bicycles (I have one extra bike for hosts!), rock climbing (I know some nice local indoor boulder places)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the idea of sharing, receiving and being received by local people, hospitality, and trust.

I think is necessary to constantly actualize ideas and remove mind frames, if you can't do it traveling, I believe that receiving new perspectives of life from people from around the world is another possible way!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hear the guts of the earth during an earthquake in the middle of the desert.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Spanish, some nice Latin American dishes, a couple of songs... l love to learn about new music groups and cooking tips from around the world, share a bottle of wine and a good conversation.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A live in a small but quite nice studio in Rotterdam, so we will share almost everything: the kitchen, toilet, table, room, guitar, music, the city, wine and stories.

I have an extra bicycle and the place is 5 minutes from the city center. It's a multicultural neighborhood and the list of things around is too big to write it down so you will have to check it out by yourself! But great bars, cafes, museums, historic places around the corner, etc...

The tram stop is just outside the house!
