I have been living and working in Chile for one year. I was teaching English in the North and then moved to Valparaíso where I worked as a waitress to improve my Spanish. After a glorious year, I set up home last July in Portland. I work in a specialty medical clinic, take online classes, and practice Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and yoga.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing to find a community of expats and travelers to share my life with. I now participate in meetups to get to know interesting people while living at home and to meet locals when I’m abroad.

Interests

I love The Blues, literature, travel, and medicine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Without great knowledge of their language or culture, I moved across the globe to a foreign country twice to find a job and friends and try a new way of life. Both times, it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I will forever be in love with Chile and the Czech Republic.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my abilities to speak English and Spanish, my growing knowledge of medicine, and my ability to talk to almost anyone.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am certified in Emergency Life Support (just in case any emergencies happen...)

Countries I’ve Visited

Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Chile, Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Mexico

Countries I’ve Lived In
