Hello there! Welcome to my profile.

Barcelona trip from the 6th until 13th of January

My partner's profile is https://www.couchsurfing.com/users/2005186775
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am Ximena, a girls from Chile who love to travel and to meet locals/travelers. Nowadays, I am living in Stockholm.

I am a calm and smiling girl.
I love to see with my eyes what life is like in different places.
I try to be communicative but I like much more to hear stories of life and moments.
I strive to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.
I like to travel slow and meet local people (through CS and/or spontaneously). I enjoy the simplicity and don't like to plan too much because most of the time the best thing happens when you change your mind.
I used to be a solo traveler but it's cool to share the road with a partner.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because here I found a place where the more important is a connection. When you are couch you meet new families, friends, cultures, communities and more...
When I travel I am looking for experienced, and people make it.

I've lived for six months in a Community House where we hosted many backpackers for six months in Tauranga, New Zealand. Initially, I was one of the backpackers but at some point, I have decided to stay longer.

Interests

We would like to learn about organic practices, permaculture, sustainable constructions because one of our dreams has an Eco Lodge or Restaurant.
Finding places in the world where I feel at home.
Nowadays, I am learning about photography. '

Music, Movies, and Books

These days my favorite writers are more varied and I'm a big fan of Julio Cortázar, Marguerite Duras, Anaïs Nin, and I like to read blogs.
I don't really watch movies or TV. But I don't mind if you want to watch something interesting sometime.
I like to listen to music but I don't have deep knowledge about it. I'm happy to discover a new singer or song.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Paragliding in Iquique.
Seen the Perito Moreno Glacier.
Have seen the sunrise in Torre Base (Torres del Paine National Park)
Did by myself the circuit a.k.a. ‘O' (Torres del Paine National Park) and hitchhiking for the Route 40 .
Hitchhiking for the 40 Route, Argentinian Patagonia.
One month of hitchhiking in New Zealand and sleeping in local homes. An awesome experience! In total 2800 kms.
