About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I wanna see the world, not a quick look at it. What i'm looking for is to get involved with different cultures and feel like one more of them. Traveling opens up your mind, challenges your way of thinking.

ABOUT ME

I love meeting new people so I try not to be judgmental when meeting somebody. Im really outgoing and laid-back, I live every moment to its fullest! I'm very trustworthy and opened to trying new things, that's why I enjoy hanging out with people from different cultures.

In 2016, life gave me the option to move to Beijing China. I was teaching English over there in an international Kindergarten . I ended up staying 5 months instead of 1 year due to several reasons (I've got so many stories to tell about it!) ... It was actually very tough. But I learned and grew up tons!

PHILOSOPHY

I prefer to regret something I did rather than something I did NOT do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have stayed at couchsurfers' houses in USA and I also hosted couchsurfers in China. When I'm in Chile, I can't host but I can always make some time to meet up with couchsurfers for some drinks or coffee. I have also attended some weekly meetings both in Santiago and in Beijing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed with people in different places throughout the US (San Antonio, New Orleans, Austin, Los Angeles, San Francisco, etc...) All of my CS experiences have been totally GREAT. When I'm at home, I try to meet up with people that are couchsurfing as much as I can, either for drinks or a nice walk!

I also hosted a few people in Beijing. Those were my first times hosting! so much fun!

Interests

I love traveling, meeting new people, moving to different countries and connecting with different cultures. I also like singing and dancing and reading! Teaching is an absolute passion. Entrepreneurship is also a topic of interest (just saying...)
