    Description

    Hello, my name is Brian, I am 29 years old, I am an electrical engineer and I moved to Viña del Mar in Agost 2023. Before moving here, I spent two and a half months in Canada using Workaway and it was a super good experience, since it allowed me to share every day with local people, practice the language and learn about their culture and history, in addition to allowing me to save some money. For the same reason, I would like to be able to pay it forward by allowing travelers to stay with me. I live in a small apartment, but there is a spare room that you could use in addition to the rest of the things. The truth is that I would not have jobs to assign, and that is not the objective either, since as I said, the idea is to allow travellers to save expenses on accommodation while getting to know the surroundings. As long as we can speak and practice English during the afternoons, it would be a good exchange for me, although I can also help by teaching you Spanish if necessary. If you play instruments it would also be very interesting, since I really like playing the guitar and music in general. For me, it would be ideal to share the space for a few days, maybe a week, so if this works for you, send me a message to meet and see if I am available during those dates. I uploaded photos of the apartment and others where I am with travelers and friends that I met in Canada during my trip. Greetings



    Holaa, mi nombre es Brian, tengo 29 años, soy ingeniero eléctrico y vivo en Viña del Mar desde Agosto de 2023. Antes de mudarme aquí, estuve dos meses y medio en Canadá utilizando Workaway y fue una experiencia súper buena, ya que me permitió compartir día a día con gente local, practicar el idioma y conocer sobre su cultura e historia, además de que me permitió ahorrar. Por lo mismo, me gustaría poder retribuir esto permitiendo a viajeros quedarse conmigo. Vivo en un departamento chiquitito, pero hay una habitación libre que podrían utilizar además del resto de las cosas. La verdad es que no tendría trabajos para asignarles, y tampoco es el objetivo, ya que como dije, la idea es permitir que se ahorren gastos en alojamiento mientras conocen los alrededores. Mientras podamos hablar y practicar inglés durante las tardes para mi sería un buen intercambio, aunque también puedo ayudar enseñándoles español si es necesario. Si es que tocan instrumentos también sería muy interesante, ya que me gusta mucho tocar la guitarra y la música en general.
    Para mi sería ideal compartir el espacio por algunos días máximo una semana, así que si esto les sirve, envíenme un mensaje para conocernos y ver si tengo disponiblidad durante esas fechas.
    Subí fotos del departamento y otras donde estoy con viajeros y amigos que conocí en Canadá durante mi viaje.
    Saludos!

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    In addition to being able to teach them Spanish if it is not their first language, I can tell them what I know about the history of the country, as well as the differences between the culture of the area where I currently live and where I was born and raised, the north of Chili. Also, in case it is of interest to you, I can recommend different Chilean and Latin American musicians and bands.

    Además de poder enseñarles español en caso de que no sea su primer idioma, puedo comentarles lo que sé respecto a la historia del país, así como las diferencias entre la cultura de la zona donde vivo actualmente y de donde nací y crecí, el norte de Chile. También, en caso de que sea de su interés, puedo recomendarles distintos músicos y bandas chilenas como latinoamericanas.
