自我介绍

Hello! We're an American-Chilean couple that decided to change our life in San Francisco, California to chase our dreams in Valparaíso, Chile. We met in Santiago, in 2003 and always talked about starting a guesthouse/bar somewhere. With a lot of hard work and a bit of luck we were able to make the jump and bought a century-old house in magical Valpo in 2016. After years of renovation, restoration, and remodelling, little by little our dreams are taking shape. Before Valpo, we had the good fortune of traveling and living in Southeast Asia, after which we settled in SF (Johnny's hometown). Cata worked as a social justice educator at a public high school and Johnny worked in the tech industry. After nine years, we were ready to move on. We love meeting people from all over the world and learning from their life experiences. Johnny makes music, cooks, and is into Zen Buddhism, Cata works with textiles, likes to read and loves the shared history between Valpo and SF. We enjoy places with amazing views, good movies, food, and drinks. We are both passionate about Valpo and want to make sure you enjoy all of its hidden gems. It is a very special place, unique in the world, and a must-see for everyone travelling to Chile and Latin America. We look forward to meeting you!
