I've lived in Puerto Montt, Chile for the last year. I work as an English teacher for primarily businessmen and women in the area. I enjoy traveling, cooking, eating good food, exploring new areas, creating things like earrings, and good conversation with old or new friends. English is my first language but I am trying my hardest to learn Spanish. While I'm far from fluent in Spanish, I'm definitely conversational and understand a lot (although Chilean Spanish is quite difficult with all of the slang).

Vivo en Puerto Montt, Chile, por mas de un año. Soy profesora de ingles con empresarios/as en la region. Me gusta viajar, cocinar, comer, explorar, crear cosas como arros y mas, y conversacion buena con amigos. Ingles es mi idioma nativa pero estoy tratando con fuerza a aprender espanol. No soy fluente de espanol pero puedo conversar sin muchos problemas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking to make new friends since I'm still new to the area.

Quiero hacer amigos nuevos porque todavia soy nueva de la region.
