CURRENT MISSION To teach ESL in Rural Communities! And welcoming you to Patagonia! ABOUT ME I have travelled to many countries in search of traditional horse training methods. Upon my arrival in Chile, I fell in love both with the land and a man and have decided to make this my home for awhile. You can read more about me and get references on my U.S. profile: Emilie HorsesOfCourse PHILOSOPHY Dig and be dug in return = live and let live. Home is where the heart is. It takes a special person to want to come to Patagonia, Chile and I want to meet you!

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I WOULD LOVE TO HOST YOU! Life here in Rio Puelo is beautifully rare and I would like to share it with you by horse, foot, or in a boat! Not many people here speak English (yet), so I would like to help visitors connect with quality local people. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I have couch surfed in many a place (without any trouble), and had fun at couch surf gatherings! I have met some of my best friends through couch surfing, and even though we know each other more virtually than in real life, I trust them and love them and we make each other laugh.
Music, Movies, and Books
TOO MANY TO LIST, but mainly books. I am not a TV person.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
In Mongolia, I bought myself 3 horses(from horse milker's) and all of the gear(at the black market) rode 500km with a translator who knew nothing about horses. I interviewed every man that had ever trained a horse. At the end of my long trip, I sold the horses and went back to one special (non english speaking) family. They invited me by hand gestures to break one of their 2 year old horses. I accepted and within 20 minutes was galloping alone on a completely wild horse towards the mountains. The horse wanted to find the herd, I wanted him to listen to his new rider, me. After an hour I got him headed back to the ger and we were both drenched in sweat upon arrival.
Teach, Learn, Share
I have learned that silence is golden. I have learned that we have all that we need in every moment if we choose to see it that way. I have learned that horses have a lot to say if you will listen.
My Interests
Horse training, polocrosse, hiking, learning new languages, art (painting and drawing), writing (short stories), NEW PEOPLE!
