Hello!

My name is Gabriela and I'm an extroverted, fun and adventure-seeking 25 year old from Chile.
I have been living in Edmonton, Canada for 11 years. During this time, I finished high school and University with a degree in Kinesiology specializing in Physical Activity and Sport from University of Alberta.
I'm very passionate about sports, event planning and recreation. I practice kickboxing, dodgeball, Zumba, hiking, outdoor running and cross-country skiing. Of course I netflix binge once in a while (except all the time). Easily addicted to new TV shows.

I'm one who laughs everyday and is seeking to fulfill an adventure-seeking mind. Excited to travel the world, meet new people and adding more stories to my repertoire.

In my spare time you'll find me doing sports or planning my next trip!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm very open to all types of music but my true love lies with Latin music (reminds me of my culture).

Not a fan of scary movies but more romantic comedies, dramas, Oscar-winning movies and some thrillers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was lucky to volunteer for the biggest sporting event in the world: Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
My dad and I registered as volunteers and both got accepted and travelled to Brazil to make our dream come true. I volunteered in the fencing arena as an event service member and translator for the public. I also volunteered as a ticket venue staff and as a member of guest services.
This gave me the opportunity to attend Olympic and Paralympic Events and cheer on my favorite athletes.
I saw Usain Bolt's last 100 m race. This was the most amazing experience ever.

Teach, Learn, Share

Spanish inappropriate Chilean slang, Cooking, Some laughs and perhaps a worth-over hangover.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a very extroverted and open person. I promise you a few funny stories and maybe a few jokes.
Looking forward to meeting new hosts, friends and individuals who will allow me the opportunity to get to know them and hopefully share a piece of my life with.

I promise to be respectful and treat you as I like to be treated :)
