Hi,

I'm a 26 year old female Mechanical Engineer from the United States. I arrived in Santiago in April with the plan to study Spanish for two weeks and leave indefinitely. However, life never seem to go as planned I've fallen in love with the city and Latin American culture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm still studying Spanish and now I teach English in the afternoons to make ends meet. Unfortunately, the tourist visa that I entered Chile with is going to expire before my temporary visa finishes processing. So I'm headed to Mendoza to cross the boarder and enjoy a little of what Argentina has to offer.

Interests

I love to hike, mountain bike, road bike, climb, and ski. I was also a whitewater rafting/kayaking guide in the past.

Basically if it happens outside I'm into it.

What I Can Share with Hosts
