About Me

Español:
Soy Rodger, médico de urgencias en Santiago, viajero por pasión. Después de años intensos de trabajo y estudio, estoy construyendo un estilo de vida más equilibrado: surf, yoga, meditación, fotografía y tiempo para disfrutar de las conexiones auténticas.

Me describen como abierto, cercano y apasionado. Me encanta cocinar, explorar la ciudad o la naturaleza, conversar de filosofía y cultura, y también reírme de cosas simples. Me interesa todo lo que tenga que ver con el movimiento, la creatividad y las conexiones humanas — ya sean de amistad, comunidad… o lo que el momento quiera mostrar.

English:
I’m Rodger, an emergency physician based in Santiago and a traveler at heart. After years of intense work and study, I’m building a more balanced lifestyle: surfing, yoga, meditation, photography, and embracing authentic connections.

People describe me as open, warm, and passionate. I love cooking, exploring cities or nature, sharing conversations about philosophy and culture, and also laughing about the simple things. I’m curious about everything related to movement, creativity, and human connections — whether friendship, community, or whatever the moment unfolds.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Español:
Couchsurfing para mí es mucho más que un sofá: es una forma de crear comunidad global. He hospedado y conocido a cientos de viajeros, y cada experiencia me ha dejado recuerdos únicos, amistades y aprendizajes.

Hoy quiero ampliar mi red internacional, conectarme con personas creativas, aventureras y de mente abierta. Me interesa compartir surf, yoga, fotografía, música, proyectos de vida o simplemente buenas conversaciones y momentos espontáneos.

For me, Couchsurfing is much more than a couch — it’s about creating global community. I’ve hosted and met hundreds of travelers, and each experience has left me with unique memories, friendships, and learnings.

Now I want to expand my international network, connecting with creative, adventurous and open-minded people. I enjoy sharing surf, yoga, photography, music, life projects, or simply good conversations and spontaneous moments.
