Well, I was born in Santiago, Chile, and spent my childhood there until 2005 when I moved to the Falkland Islands with my family.

I was lucky enough to go on to college in the UK between 2008-2010 and then returned to the Falklands where I landed my first job in retail, took it from there until late 2013 when I decided it was time to move on and do something else and moved back to Santiago.

Since then I've continued working for the same company that first employed me in the Falklands and got into university to get a Bachelor's Degree in Advertising but I still don't think it's for me.

I'm pretty easygoing, relaxed, always up for a laugh and long chats about history, politics, economics, aviation, entertainment and many other things!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had little experience hosting people in the Falklands but haven't had much of a chance to do it here in Chile. I'm always interested in learning from new cultures as well as telling people about my life experiences in the places I've lived in.

For the first time in my life I'll be travelling solo to the US and would like to see as many places as possible in the East Coast as well as make some really good connections with people!
