I am a dance teacher from Santiago de Chile. About me, I think I' am a nice and easy going person, who loves to spend time with family and friends. I m curious, cheerful and peaceful, always open to new learning experiences.
Working with kids and teenagers makes my job fun and pushes me to be in permanent creativity to get them into the magic and benefits of dance. For a while I was looking for a new place to improve my knowlodge in dance and New York was the perfect choice. Meeting people from different cultures and taking a glance in this amaizing city are my interests and wishes in this new journey abroad.
It is my first time in the USA, I'll arrive on August, 18th in the morning and during my visit I'll take a workshop in contemporary dance.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it is a great idea to meet people, to share cultures, to discover the world and its diferent ways of living.
Last year in Vienna, I had my first couchsurfing experience with an austrian host. We share a very nice time together. He was friendly, cozy and gave me a lot of advices and hints to discover the city. Therefore, couchsurfing for me is the best way to get familiar with a new place and that's why I would like to repeat this in New York. =)
