Hi there! I'm a young, recently graduated marine biologist from Chile. I'm very passionate about my career and the environment. I think this planet (an all the diversity of things and process it houses) is an incredible place and we should all learn to appreciate it and take good care of it. I'm pro-development, but in a sustainable way.
I'm seeking a career in science (evolutionary ecology of marine organisms), but right now I'm taking a sabatic along with my girlfriend to travel through Asia and learn as much as possible of its culture, places and people. After the trip we hope to settle together for a while in Melbourne, Australia, where I intend to study a postgraduate.

Liberté, égalité, fraternité.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people from different cultures, to learn and experience how locals really live, and to host people once I find myself a new home. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Daring to live the life I want and take the necessary risks to chase my dreams!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching and sharing about everything I know. I'm careful though, since we usually know less than what we think we know. That's why I'm usually more prone to listening than speaking.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good vibes and conversation. Respect. Some Chilean dishes.
