About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Vivir la vida al máximo, ser buena persona y no perjudicar a nadie. Aprender lo máximo que pueda mientras construyo una estabilidad financiera. Aprender a hacer kitesurf y mejorar mi surf y windsurf. Aprender mucho sobre proyectos de Ingeniería Hidráulica.

ABOUT ME

I am a cheerful and sociable person. I like meeting new people and hearing opinions and views different from mine. I believe that everything, good or bad in life, serves to grow and improve. I think there are two kinds of worries in life, those you can do something about and those you can't. Those I just don't worry. I like to be liked by people just by being myself and there are very few people who I don't like them. I love to enjoy the pleasures of life, love, food, sports, music, gaming and party are my favorites. I always look for what I want and try to get it with my effort, but if not, I know I learned a lot along the way, I will pass on to the next goal without complications. I love to laugh and share with others in any form whatsoever.
Even though my major is Industrial Engeneering with Hidraulics diploma from Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile, I am currently working for Thermaltake Inc. a company that sells Gaming and e-sports products. Someday I would like to make a contribution to the world about clean energy.
I do not discriminate anyone and I think that everyone has different experiences to give to your life, whoever. I love surfing, and extreme sports. I am a very decided person, when I want to do something I will not wait people to follow me, I will just do it.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem, without harming other people and share it with the people you love.
I think making the world better depends on each one, and if I think something is wrong, do not criticize unless you know how to make it better, because if not is just nonsense critics.
I also believe that nobody have the right to make anyone have a bad time or experience, I don't like people who believe they have they right to do so.
I try not to worry too much about anything, everything has a solution, and if not, is not something to worry about.
La fuerza de voluntad te puede llevar a lugares inesperados si te lo propones, úsala, y úsala bien.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I stay at some place, I like to help as much as I can. I will say thanks for everything and I will try to cooperate. If you ask me for help I definetly will help you no matter what.
If you stay at my place I will trust you, but if you do something that betrays my trust (Something really bad against me, my family or my house) it will not be easy to regain trust. If I need it I will ask you to help, but I expect anything you can do to help in any way.

Teach, Learn, Share

Be kind, be grateful about everything. Thanks is the first word that you should learn in every language you learn. Don't be shy, people wants to meet you and wants you to have a good time. Love as much as you can without expecting anything in return, that is true happiness.
I can teach you to surf, windsurf, ski, snowboard, wakeboard, math, chemistry, physics and Hydraulics.
I want to learn kitesurf and actually everything I can.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer you to cook because I love cooking every kind of dish. My best dish could be pasta with a fungi salsa. Delicious! I rather not do the dishes as my hands suffer from dermatitis, but if you have gloves I don't have a problem with that.
My happiness and talk-able personality is well received in every place.
