I'm a musician and photographer from Chile, born in Venezuela. I'm a little introverted but quite talkative as soon as I feel a little confortable. Love to share knowledge, experiencies and thoughts on a lot of topics specially related to creativity, mental health and arts!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've just joined this site because I'm going to be stranded in Miami for a couple of days before actually arriving at my destination in Utah, and I think this would be a great chance to meet new people along the way! I'm also really short on budget and didn't expect to be staying in Miami for more than a day, so some sort of knowledge and cultural exchange in exchange for a place to sleep seems like a great experience!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Sufjan Stevens, Elliot Smith, and Jeff Buckley's music. My favorite movies are psychological thrillers and anything related to Charlie Kaufman and Denis Villeneuve. I don't read much, but I've really liked Dostoyesvki and Tolstoi's stories. When I was younger, I was a fan of Stephen King's novels and stories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been able to actually rock the stage several times in different cities, although I'm introverted and suffer from slight social anxiety.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd be happy to talk about music and lyric writting! plus I can share with you my experiencies and things about both of my countries (Chile and Venezuela)

My best learnings have been about dealing with frustration, helping myself and others focus on their goals instead of obstacles, and promoting an environment with less violence and more headspace for everyone to find themselves without the need to antagonize other people.

Also, arts and crafts are a really healthy and fun way to vent out things that otherwise may be troublesome to express to someone else; everyone needs to let things out to actually understand them! That's what I've liked the most about making music. 

What I Can Share with Hosts

I really like to talk about music and photography. If you're a photography enthusiast, I can teach you about it from a technical and artistic perspective! I'm also a good cook. My top dishes are souffle pancakes, guacamole, and tacos al pastor. I'm also used to a vegan lifestyle from personal experience (I'm not currently a vegan but have shared closely with a vegan)
