About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Taking every single day of my life as a new challenge and adventure! Crying, laughing, discussing, walking... enjoying everything that life can provide me, whatever it is.
ABOUT ME
What do you prefer, a year-by-year summary of my life or a brief life/self description??? hahaha... I would say the last one, don't you?
I am a 22-aged Chilean student and I am doing an exchange in Copenhagen University, Denmark. Before that, I used to live in my parent's house in Santiago, Chile, a lovely -but high air-polluted- city. In 2005, I started my studies on Law. Next year, while studing, I joined to a fire brigade as a volunteer firefighter wanting -in some way- to pay back to the community all the good opportunities that I have had in my life. Then, in 2007 I 'left' home to take part of the fire brigade's night guard -which is in charge to responde to emergencies during the nights-, which implied sleeping at the fire station almost every nights. But, last year, after decided that I wanted to live/study abroad, I 'came back' home, started studying English hardly and applied to a exchange at my university. What has been the results? Well, so far, a great semester here in Copenhagen, meeting people from all over the world, learning about life, and having fun, of course.
Finally (it is getting too long), I would described my self as a hard-worker, dependable, trustworthy, and very friendly person. I love eating, partying, dancing and talking. I try to achieve a fair balance between studies and having fun. What a combination!
PHILOSOPHY
Breaking prejudices - whatever they are - getting to know people and getting them to know me.
Interests
They always change, don't they?
Right now, as many other students, trying to answer an unavoidable question: 'what-the-hell-I-want-to-do-with-my-life-after-graduating'. In the meantime, I am obsessed with exploring as much cultures as I can.

Music, Movies, and Books
I am open to see, listen and read all kind of things.
Though, I have just finished with my exams, so please, do not expect me to read, at least, for a couple of weeks! Just one exception: travel guides about Mediterranean Europe and Middle East (my targets!).
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The most amazing thing in my life is just coming: a trip around Mediterranean Europe and Middle East just with a 5-kilo-backpack, a tiny little budget and thousands of dreams.
Teach, Learn, Share
What can I teach you? ufff! well... how to survive in Copenhagen on a budget! I can tell you how to bargain with the most high-skilled sellers without resulting injured and getting the best price ever seen! It doesn't matter what kind of thing you want to get, it can be from purchasing an elephant till a kilo of rice. Maybe, it would take a couple of days, but you can easily improve yours skills with a little of effort! Just keep it in mind: it will we useful for the rest of your life, just imagine living with less money! hahahahaha...
On the other hand, I would really like to learn about art (in its whole expression)! I always get frustrated, for example, trying to understand a picture or appreciate a play. It gets worst when it is a matter of modern art: I conclude that I am stupid enough!
