Returned from living in Spain, for the second time, working as a conversation assistant, in a primary school, in June. I'm living here in Chile, until June 2020, teaching English. I'm eager to experience authentic Chilean culture, and various other cultures besides, through the things I do and the people I meet. Furthermore, meeting dogs is always a bonus.

Regresé desde viviendo en España para la segunda vez, en Junio. Trabaje como auxiliar de conversacion, en un colegio primario. Estoy viviendo aqui, en Chile, hasta Junio 2020, ensenando Ingles. Quiero experiencar la cultura de Chile authentico, y, otra culturas en general- con que hacer, y quien conozco. Y quedando con perros es siempre un bono.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people. To try an alternative option to hostelling. To enjoy authentic spontaneous experiences. To exchange languages. To further open myself up.

I enjoy stand-up comedy; I've seen Billy Connolly twice (the most famed comedian of those I've seen), and visited Edinburgh during the Fringe Festival.

Cirque du Soleil's 'Ka' was the best circus show I've ever seen. 'Waiting for Godot' featuring Sirs Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart was one of the most memorable plays I've seen.
