Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Learn from other people, from their experiences and particular ways of seeing the world
ABOUT ME
I am very passionate about my studies, so I spend much time in that.
I like a lot talking, going to nice cafes and interesting bars. I am not a big fan of crowds, so clubbing is not something I do usually. However, when I do go clubbing I like dancing and I can be really outgoing.
I think my friends would also say that, although I am fairly relaxed and easy going, at the same time I truly enjoy having serious discussions about life or politics. I really enjoy critical challenging viewpoints, I think I like very much learning, especially if that is from others.
PHILOSOPHY
Never think that you are better or worse than others.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I participate (now passively because of the distance) in a civil/political organization, called Salud Un Derecho (One Health One Right). In that organization we look for ways of improving the healthcare system in Chile.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Currently: none.
Interests
I have to recognize that I spend most of my time studying, learning and researching - which is reasonable, because that is now my core living activity.
I like a lot photography, I take photos myself. Unfortunately I never had proper training on that, so I am not that good at it.
I also like tennis very much, but I have lost the habit of playing regularly (it has been two years actually since I don't play, which I find quite sad).
I like languages. I have managed to properly learn English and Italian (and, of course, I know Spanish as my mother tong). I am hence always interested in learning other languages.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
An amazing trip I did was to Machupichu. It truly impressed me, not only because it is an extremely beautiful place, but because I think I got to understand a bit of what Latin America is by learning about the Inca culture. That trip somehow changed me.
I did a trip across Brazil for a bit more than a month with 15 friends. That was amazing! I had a lot of fun, got to meet a lot of new people and saw one of the most amazing countries.
