About Me

I am an optimistic, uncomplicated, spontaneous chilean-swiss-german girl who has her actual 'base' in Brunnen/Switzerland right now. I like socialising a lot with every kind of person and I love to live new experiences. I am openminded and always ready to do some new stuff and learn from other people, cultures and lifestyles.

Travelling is the most enriching thing you can do!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people, talking, listening to their stories, discussing, exploring and of course TRAVELLING!
I have been lucky to make a lot of positive experiences meeting people just everywhere - in planes, trains, buses, elevators, hostels, hiking, etc.
They say "what goes around comes around" and that's what Couchsurfing means to me...
It is also about exchanges and interactions with people you possibly would never meet in your entire life.
I am so thankful for all the beautiful people I have met through CS!

Music, Movies, and Books

I am in to almost every kind of MUSIC and I also like listening to completely new beats.
I am a MOVIES lover, even though there are still many classics I haven't watched.
I am afraid, but reading BOOKS is not my stenght. I do always travel with a book in my backpack though. I enjoy reading on quiet places like beaches for example, but I usually prefer watching and observing the people passing by... :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Working and living in a favela of Rio de Janeiro/Brazil.
Working with refugees from all over the world in Geneva/Switzerland.
Travelling from Abene/Senegal to Essaouira/Maroc, crossing Gambia, Mauretania and the West-Sahara.
Going to weddings in Cosovo, Egypt, Mexico, Argentina, Germany, Switzerland, Serbia and Brazil.
Travelling from Cuba through Mexico, all the way down to Panama.
Visiting the Amazon in Brasil, Peru and Colombia.
Travelling through South East Asia and staying a month in Sri Lanka.
Doing three Vipassana 10-days silent meditation retreats - in Indonesia, Poland and Argentina.
Working on a cruise ship on the Mediterranean, Atlantic, Caribbean and Arabic Ocean, living together with over 1000 crew members from 50 different nationalities and around 3000 guests...

And many more...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can TEACH my knowledge of everything that makes part of my interests.
I would love to LEARN about your culture, maybe learn to cook dishes of your country and of course get to know you.
I am basically in to listening to everything you want to SHARE...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am good in adapting myself to any life or living situation the host is having when I am surfing his/her couch.
