My name is Andrea, from Santiago de Chile. I'm a photographer, singer-songwriter and I recently opened a travel Youtube channel, I currently live in Paris.
I'm always eager to know new places, new people and new cultures, so I can grow as a person, learn many things along the way and share many experiences with new people! 🙌

🔺A friendly clarification: I'm here to make friends, I don’t use this app like tinder and I'm not interested in flirting or anything similar. Thank you for your attention 😋

Philosophy

Honesty, respect and empathy.

Happiness is internal, not external, therefore it does not depend on what we have, but on what we are - Pablo Neruda

The mistake consisted of believing that the earth was ours when the truth of things is that we belong to the earth - Nicanor Parra

The mind is like a parachute, it only works if it is opened - Albert Einstein

I am not poor, poor are those who believe that I am poor. I have few things, it is true, the minimum, but only so I can be rich. I want to have time to dedicate to the things that motivate me, that is true freedom - José Mujica

Music is to the soul what gymnastics is to the body - Plato

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend mentioned me about this page, and I made an account immediately haha, I started traveling in 2014 and I have had very nice experiences, sharing with people from a different place is divine! a different way to travel and very useful for the soul, you learn a lot, you share with wonderful people and many times you win great friends.

Interests

I love everything related to art; I play guitar, piano and sing. I also like to paint and do all kinds of crafts. The digital world fascinates me, I love editing photos, videos, making animations. I also like to cook and learn something new every day, as well as dance and laugh a lot!

* I became vegetarian a couple of years ago.

Teach, Learn, Share

What I can teach is music, certain types of crafts (eva rubber, cold ceramics) juggling with poi (flags, birds, chains) photography, video, digital animation, digital editing, reading and writing in English or Spanish, reflexology, some Peruvian, Chilean and Mexican gastronomy, plus some alternative therapies.

Among what I would like to learn is how to cook the food of each place, to know how people think, and well, learning any kind of new thing is always going to be welcome because I think there is nothing more fascinating than learning something new :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Long conversations, helping with homework (or whatever I can learn) entertaining children (I was a cub scout pack leader) walking dogs, cooking, I can do therapies such as reflexology, emotion coding, reiki and shamanic reiki.
