About Me

( I am currently traveling, which is why I can't accept any guests at the moment. But definitely in the future!)

Hello people! I don't know how to introduce this, so I will go straight to de describing myself part :)

I am very open minded, and I like to travel light. I think that there is nothing better to get to know a place that to stay with someone from that place, that can show you the non-turistic version of it (I also like the touristic stuff, it's just that they complement each other, you know?)

I enjoy to cook (and to eat of course, who doesn't ?), to play the guitar, to sing, to read, to play board games, to binge watch movies and series, to dance, to walk for hours, to try new things, and to meet new people. I will like any curious plan that you offer ! I have also been a scout for ten years, and I love to do any volunteering work, to go camping and hitchhiking :)
I was born and raised in Chile, but now I am living and studying Political Sciences in Madrid. I am half chilean/half spanish.

Books: Cortázar, García Márquez, Miguel Delibes, Juan Rulfo, Isabel Allende, Beat Generation, Ernesto Sábato.. among others. I also enjoy fantasy books.

Series: I have watched A LOT of shows, like GOT, Friends (a thousand times), Black mirror, mr. Robot, House of cards, stranger things, Sense 8, skins, Dr.House, Bates Motel, DARK, the OA, Rupaul's Drag Race, La casa de papel .. you name it hahaha (don't judge me please).
With movies it's pretty much the same. I enjoy almost everything ( I love those movies that are so bad that you can't stop watching them, but I also love to learn and watch old, indie or just regular movies).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacking through the "Carretera austral" in the Patagonia, Chile.// living and working in El Salvador with amazing people // Volunteering for three years building houses and homes for awesome families. // Moving alone to live in another continent.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Spanish and English, and maybe some guitar or piano (I am not an expert, but I am a good teacher when it comes to basic stuff). I am learning german too, so if you know some I would be happy to practice with you. I also like to learn and share cooking recipes, political and non-political views, funny stories, etc.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook for you, teach you some things about my country, and I can make an awesome Tortilla de. Patatas or Pisco Sour!!
