Hi there! My name is Andrea. I'm 22 years old. I live in Valparaiso and actually I'm studying Geology.

I studied and I grew up in Vina del Mar, a small city that is in the middle of Chile.
During my childhood and adolescence I learned many sports, but the only ones I still practice are tennis, soccer, hiking and skiing. I love outdoors and extreme sports.

I am passionate about nature, It is one of the reasons why I am studying geology.
In general, I love learn new things, such as international cooking, extreme sports, history about the places that I visit, and much more. And everytime that I learn something new, I try to teach it.

I love traveling (especially when I do it with my sister) and spend time with people of other cultures. This has taught me to be a person more tolerant, responsable and sociable. My goals and my dreams are focused on my travels and learning from life.

Every trip, whether good or bad, is an unforgettable and enriching experience that will help me to continue to grow as a person.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It is difficult to me choose a fascinating experience because I have many of it! but I think if I had to choose one it would be when I traveled to the south of Chile with my family.

We hiked for 8 hours on the Villarrica Volcano, we met the native tree forest and also we visited a glacier in the same place.
That trip was awesome!
