About Me

I´m a chilean documentary / travel photographer, and aspiring writer, currently based in Madrid, Spain. I´m finishing my master degree here. Meanwhile, I try to travel as much as i can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was very active from 2012 to 2014 while i was living in Valparaíso, Chile. Hosting and connecting people from everywhere.
Now I live in Madrid and after a while away from CS, I´m back in the road.

Interests

I was a full time photojournalist, working in a major news paper in Chile. Now i´m just another grad student in Europe.
I love music, had some hardcore punk bands in HighSchool, despite i can enjoy a wide kind of music. (Who could not love raves?)
Beers, books and bikes!
Travels and adventures are my goals.
Literature and photography are my shelter.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1) Get a thug transexual british taxi driver in the middle of winter night in Portland (US), and not notice it until he (or she?) started to ask about my accent.

2) Go naked into the ocean in Mancora (Perú) when beach was empty, then stay 3 hours inside with no chance to get out of it, because beach started to get crowded.
