Hija de padres chilenos de Santiago, pero nacida y criada en Nueva Jersey. Estoy interesada en una carrera en el campo del desarrollo internacional, pero aún no sé qué aspecto de ese campo me interesa más. Ya que he conseguido mi licenciatura en junio del 2014, pienso trabajar por un par de años para ahí saber qué maestría me conviene más para la carrera que elija.

*Nota: Actualmente estoy viviendo en el Cibao en la República Dominicana.*

Born to Chilean parents - both from Santiago - but born and raised in NJ. I'm interested in pursuing a career in international development, but I have yet to figure out what aspect of that field interests me the most. Now that I've graduated with a Bachelor's in sociology, I plan on working for a few years until I figure out my career path and, consequently, the Master's degree that would help me achieve that goal.

*Note: I am currently living in the Cibao Valley of the Dominican Republic.*

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's an economical option to international travel, and I love to meet people!! It's always especially nice to meet friendly locals while traveling.

Music, Movies, and Books

Les Misérables is my favorite musical EVER. I actually know the words to an embarrassing amount of songs from that show.

My favorite movie is También la lluvia (Even the Rain).

I enjoy listening to classical music (classical, romantic, baroque), bachata, salsa, reguetón, denbow, música andina, pop (American, latino, French), hip-hop, some R&B, and I can appreciate jazz, though I only listen to it sporadically. I do not enjoy merengue, I find the dance quite boring compared to bachata and salsa, but I can tolerate it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love salsa dancing!!! I'm pretty decent at it and would love to learn more :-) I also love to learn languages; I'm currently teaching myself French, so if I can practice that, that would be fantastic.
