Overview
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

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.
