About Me

Artist, puppeteer, designer, passionate about art and nature.
Travel is a fundamental part of my life. I was born in the Chilean Patagonia and moved to the capital for a while. However I've been living in Melbourne, Australia since 2010.
I practise meditation and yoga and as result of that I really appreciate having stillness and harmony around me. I could say that being vegetarian for more than 13 years has been helping on this too.
I'm fun and very independent. I like to talk with others, specially about their life experiences but I also like the silence.
I love to attend art exhibitions, music concerts, theatre, festivals and cultural events.

**This may be a bonus track: Since 2015 I've been travelling the world with my miniature theatre show. If you host me this will be my present for you**

Artista, titiritera, diseñadora, apasionada por las artes y la naturaleza.
Viajar es parte fundamental de mi vida. Nací en la Patagonia Chilena y también viví en la capital (Santiago) por algunos años. Sin embargo he estado viviendo en Melbourne desde el 2010.
Practico meditación y yoga, como resultado de ello es que haga lo que haga siempre busco estar rodeada de paz y armonía. Creo que el ser vegetariana por mas de 13 años a contribuido en ello también.
Soy entretenida, independiente y me gusta hablar con la gente de sus experiencias de vida, al mismo tiempo aprecio mucho el silencio.
Me encanta ir a ver exhibiciones, conciertos, festivales y eventos culturales.

**Esto podría darme puntos extras: Desde 2015 que viajo con mi espectáculo de teatro en miniatura. Si me recibes en tu casa, este será mi regalo para ti **
