I am trying to figure out how to use my camera to produce better photos and missing my Ukelele back in San Francisco.

I grew up in Chile and was lucky enough to live in different cities throughout the country, which led me to meet people all over :) I’m currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in San Francisco, CA.

I like to drink wine and laugh with friends. I like a real conversation, though there’s always room for some silliness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Still sounds cliché, but I enjoy so much meeting people from other countries and learn about how they see and enjoy life. I joined when I learned about it through friends in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I used to go to events and meetups almost weekly during the first couple years, and I also met travelers when I went back to Chile.
Once I was back in the U.S. to study, I attended some meetings but started joining meetups and events when traveling.

I believe that listening to other people's beliefs and values allows us to better comprehend different perspectives.

Interests

Let’s talk and find out, but the following is what I came up with...

I love horror movies, I really do. But not all kinds though, I like the ones that really mess up with your mind and your perception of reality... I think it is a delicious teaser to your everyday life.

I like learning languages too, but being in Denmark has challenged my desire and willingness to learn its language.

I am interested in languages, poetry and checking my bias every day.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ahhh...mmm... there can't be only one. I teach little kids how to be kind by babysitting :D mmmm I have jumped off a plane twice, but still get the chills before getting on a rollercoaster ! and I have eaten porotos (Chilean dish with pinto beans) for breakfast many times... love that, yum!

Oh! OH! oh! This is the most important to me! I am (almost) successfully changing my diet to a vegetarian diet... it has taken me three years to accomplish this and I am so happy.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Spanish or questions about grammar in that regard. I want to learn to make documentary films!
I can share present moments :). I truly appreciate the moment I am given as a gift... again, as cheesy as it might sound. And I can teach you the 6 songs I know in Ukelele!

What I Can Share with Hosts

My travels! My experience visiting other countries that I have been to and they might want to go. My home in Chile and my friends' homes... that has worked out in the past :=). I can share an honest moment, I would say.
