Hey! My name is Isabelle, I'm a 31 y/o French-Chilean psychologist who decided to pack her stuff and fulfill my dream to travel the world!

When I was young I lived in the US and in France, but I've lived most of my life in Chile. I've traveled a bit South America and Europe, did one year of Working Holiday in Australia and another in Japan.
After the quarantine I hurried up, packed my bags and left on a third Working Holiday visa in New Zealand! I am also planning on going to South East Asia next year if everything goes well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and I would like to go around the world. Couchsurfing can help me achieve my dream! I think it's a great opportunity to discover new cultures from the point of view of a local, and also to meet new people and make new friends too :)

Interests

To be honest, I enjoy spending time with myself as much as with others. I love to cook and bake, specially when there is other people I can share it with, I'm trying to collect recipes from people I meet around the world, and every time I cook it I am reminded of them.
When at home, I love reading and watching movies, always looking for new things that pick my interest.
I'm always up to a walk around the city, a few drinks, meeting new people and having a great time!
