I am currently living a work gap year experience. I came from the countryside of Chile, some years ago I moved to the big city looking for better opportunities as well as to continue my studies. I got a degree in Business and worked for some years for an international firm dealing on a daily basis with international assignee and I finally decided that was time for my to live abroad.
I was always interested in to travel, to met other people from different cultures, to speak other languages. Even in my country, that happened to me, cause countryside mindset is really different from the big city's...
I think this is a time to make a change and live an adventure, while knowing others also to grow, to get new skills and to see what the world have to offer to me and what I can do to give it back...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am thinking on my trip to Cusco (Perú), it was crazy and also amazing, cause at that time I had saved some money to travel, but I did not plan to where or when, so one day I just saw in the internet a discount ticket to Cusco and I bought it for the next month. I did not plan anything for the trip different from to buy the Machu Pichu tickets (which I knew were hard to get), I did not know where to stay, which route to take or how was the city. I was encourage to do something with no plans and I was confident It would not be hard for me to find a place or things to do, cause Cuzco is a very touristic place and is located in a spanish speaker country. Finally, I met a lot of people, I stayed in a hostel where everyone spoke english, so I almost did not speak Spanish (my level at that time was intermediate) I did the Inca Jungle trail. I remember this as one of my best travel and I still keep in contact with some of the Cuzco's experience friends.

I can teach Spanish, talk to you about Chilean culture, strawberry farming, to teach the national dance "cueca".
