About Me

I bought a one-way ticket to Chile over a year ago and have been backpacking ever since. Along the way, I have volunteered at hostels in Colombia, Perú and Bolivia, went to a Spanish school in Chile and took a camper van with friends through Argentina and Paraguay.

I like exploring new cities, drinking coffee, meeting up with friends or acquaintences, listening to live music and reading.

🌱 In the process of learning Spanish with an intermediate fluency.

If I have the chance to help out with any pets it would make my day!

Music, Movies, and Books

I really enjoy reading surreal and classic Greek literature. I am into horror and science fiction movies. My musical taste is all over the place but my favorite albums/artists to jam out to are: Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, Depeche Mode, Until We are Dead and Grimes' Visions.
