Mi nombre es Paulina y tengo 26 años, soy una persona sociable y conversadora, por lo que me encanta conocer gente nueva. Soy médico de profesión pero tengo muchos intereses artísticos, especialmente la literatura, la música (práctico con el bajo y la guitarra) y la fotografía. Me encanta además recorrer mi ciudad y hacer city tours, por lo que un paseo a tomar fotos por Santiago siempre me parece ideal. Actualmente me encuentro aprendiendo Italiano para viajar en el mes de febrero a recorrer aquel bello país.

Mi misión en la vida es disfrutar el momento, recorrer el mundo y conocer la cantidad de lugares alrededor del mundo. Creo por sobre todo en el amor y respeto por el otro, ayudar a personas que me necesiten y en pasarlo bien.

My name is Paulina and I'm 26 years old, I'm a very nice a sociable person and I love to meet new people. I work as a medical doctor but I really love artistic hobbies like literature, music (I play the bass and the guitar) and photography. I enjoy walking around Santiago and doing city tours and is even better if we have a camera with us. Now I'm learning Italian because I'll go in February to that beautiful country.

My mission in life is to enjoying the now, travel the world and to know many places as I can. Above everything I believe in love and respect for the others, help people who needs me and having fun.

Mi chiamo Paulina e ho 26 anni. Sono una ragazza molto socievole e attenta, e mi piace molto conoscere nuove persone. Lavoro come medico e amo la letteratura, la musica (suono il basso e la chitarra) e la fotografia. Mi piace camminare nella città di Santiago e fare tours della città (ancora meglio se con una macchina fotografica). Sto imparando Italiano perché farò un viaggio in Italia a Febbraio.

Il mio sogno è viaggiare per il mondo, godersi il momento e conoscere diversi posti. Credo nell'amore e nel rispetto per gli altri, aiutare chi ha bisogno e divertirsi.
