Hi!
I was born in Chile, grew up in Australia and am currently living in Adelaide.
I am open minded, friendly and keen about trying new things.
I love travelling, big cities, food and meeting people from all around the world. The world is so big, there is so much out there to see and explore!

Over the last few years I have grown more intentional about what my life is all about- life is a daring adventure and you write the story. I am inspired to be more, while at the same time, to live a simpler life.
I get excited about ice cream, great food, new places, new friends, growing and learning.
What really gives me purpose and drives me is kindness- making a difference to someone by an act of kindness, a little help, a bit of love, some practical thoughtfulness - anything that shows another human being they are worth it. Life is about give and take and helping each other. "The best way to spell love is T-I-M-E."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Life is all about relationships and people. I love meeting awesome human beings, who are into life. Travelling by couchsurfing offers the opportunity to meet and connect with people in different places. It's more real you know?

I really enjoy hanging out with people who come from a different place to me and sharing experiences, fantastic conversation, food etc.
Travelling for me is about exploring cities and getting to see what living there looks like, I really don't want to be a tourist and just see surface level. I would love to meet locals and not stay in a hotel room.

It will be lovely to host people in Adelaide and contribute to their experience in my part of the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spending a few days over New Year's in the Arctic Circle in Kiruna, Sweden, looking for the Nothern Lights. Didn't get to see the Lights, but did get to live and play in the snow, go snowmobiling, dog sledding and more! The pine trees all covered in snow are breathtaking.
