About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to see new places and meet amazing people.

ABOUT ME

I was born in Viña Del Mar, Chile but I grew up in Burbank, California. I love to enjoy life to the fullest and I love to see places and learn about different cultures. I graduated from UCSB and I studied Political Science. My parents are Chilean so I speak Spanish fairly well. I like to have fun and I am down to try everything at least once in my life :) I'm a bit sarcastic and I like people who can make fun of themselves because I sure can.

PHILOSOPHY

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have CSed in Brazil and Argentina and I have also gone to some meeting to meet new friends. Overall I have had an amazing experience with CS and hope to meet new people and have new adventures.

Interests

I like to try new things at least once maybe twice if I really like it. I like anything that involves the water like swimming and jet skiing. One of my favorite things to do is go to a coffeeshop and spend the whole day there. I love coffee and like just talking about politics, music, movies basically anything.
I like to cook and sometimes I just invent new recipes.
I like going out and having a good time and a little alcohol is always good :)

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite band is Coldplay. I like all types of music except country.

Favorite movies: Gladiator, 10 things I hate about you, A Walk to remember, Elf, The Grinch, Step-Brothers, Good Will Hunting, A Beautiful Mind and many more. I love movies!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I have done is deciding to study abroad in Chile because it has been one of the most amazing experiences of my life.

I went to Torres de Paine, Patagonia and it was absolutely breath-taking!

And finally decided to come back to Chile to teach English to Chilean students!!

Teach, Learn, Share

Even though I was raised in California, I have a great appreciation for Latin culture since my parents are Chilean. One thing I can teach is that every person is complex and has different aspects to them not just where they are born or what race they are. I want to learn about different cultures and lifestyles because it fascinates me.
