Hi, I’m Dana! 😊 I’m a Chilean traveler with a passion for exploring new cultures, meeting people from around the world, and experiencing life outside my comfort zone. 🌎

I recently started traveling more actively and discovered how much I enjoy immersing myself in different lifestyles and sharing meaningful moments with others. I love the idea of exchanging stories, learning about local traditions, and creating connections through simple yet memorable experiences.

A little about me:

I studied Applied Physics, but my career journey took me into administrative roles, where I honed my skills in problem-solving and organization.
I’m a huge fan of books and movies, and I even write reviews for fun! 📚🎬
I enjoy spending time in nature, whether it’s hiking, exploring a new park, or just soaking up the sun. 🌿
I’m vegetarian and love discovering new cuisines—especially trying local vegetarian dishes. 🥗

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling isn’t just about visiting places; it’s about meeting people and seeing the world through their eyes. Couchsurfing is a wonderful way to experience the authenticity of a place while sharing stories and laughter with kind-hearted hosts.

Music, Movies, and Books

🎶 Music:
I’m a big fan of soft rock, but my playlist is pretty eclectic—I enjoy discovering new music and exploring different genres. If you have a favorite band or artist, I’d love to hear about it!

🎬 Movies:
Horror, drama, and existential films are my go-to genres. I enjoy movies that make you think, give you chills, or tug at your heartstrings. If you’re into deep conversations about films, we’ll definitely have a lot to talk about!

📚 Books:
I’m an avid reader and love diving into universal classics, horror, and science fiction. There’s something magical about stories that explore the human condition, challenge the imagination, or send a shiver down your spine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I studied physics but decided to take a different path, building a career in the publishing world. I’ve worked in bookstores and at a publishing house, combining my love for books with my professional life.

Now, I’m traveling and taking some time to collect stories and write about them. It’s been an incredible journey of self-discovery, creativity, and connection with people from all walks of life.
