About Me

CURRENT MISSION Just a small list of 30 things to do (but one at a time)! Right now, learning how to stop and breathe. ABOUT ME: I have ADHD, that's the first thing. I won't be blaming you if you sleep all day (but I’m noisy every morning). If you want to have a great time then welcome aboard! I'm open minded, chilled, love to meet people, and also love my work. I'm an emergency physician, doing consultancy and bedside teacher with few plans for the future... but after all my life studying I’m having some time for my own, did learn some pottery (gres ceramics), diving and achieving sort of a healthy lifestyle with a balanced vegetarian nutrition, some bar lifting and yoga too. PHILOSOPHY I believe that anything can be done, if you work and trust in life’s own rithm.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I'm Traveller and Host. Most of the time I host because of my work I’m also looking to expand my network so after some years of earning experience in the public hospital I’m currently working I’d like to create projects to deliver healthcare education, I also studied some psychedelics therapies and alternative therapies too, and I love sharing all what I’ve learned. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE First I hosted two persons and went to Pucón by couching, it was one of the best experiences ever. Then I went to Foz do Iguaçu, where I was hosted by csers who showed me their fabulous cities. In Uruguay I had an excellent experience too! By now I think I already hosted more than 200 persons in Valdivia, and maybe 160-70 here in Santiago. It's been an amazing way to see the world while getting my backpack ready.
