I'm Gonzalo, a 33-year guy who loves reading, biking, swimming, electronics, travelling to nature, playing electric guitar, and having a good time with friends. I'm also an Electrical Engineer and project manager. I live in Santiago, the six-million people capital of Chile (South-America), a thin country between the Pacific Ocean and the awesome Andes, the homeland of 15 millons of a young, peaceful and gentle people. We have an incredible variety of landscapes: from the Atacama Desert (the driest place of the world, with no raindrops in a thousand years), the modern urban center, the Mddle- Europe-like woods and lakes of the South, cold and rainy islands of the far south, up to the white and lonely Antarctica. Our Easter Island ('Isla de Pascua') for us) with their mysterious moais; the desertic 'salares' (salt dry lakes), the beautiful Andes and our miles and miles of coast. Some say we are better known for our wines, fruits, salmon, copper, fishing rivers, ski centers, among other highlights. Some names like Pablo Neruda, Gabriela Mistral (both with Literature Nobel prize), Marcelo Rios (former ATP Top1 Tennis), Ivan Zamorano and Elias Figueroa (famous soccer players)...and also for some historical names like Allende and Pinochet, a sad page of our history I hope we could overcome soon. Most of this people is Roman-Catholic, speaks spanish, are latin descendants of a mixture of spaniards and mapuche (natives) among other countries. By the way, we drive by the right, and our wall outlets are rated to 220V :)
