I moved to Chile in February of 2016 for a teaching job in Antofagasta. I am now spending the summer traveling before returning to Antofagasta at the end of February.

Soy una profesora de los estados unidos, pero vivo en Antofagasta en el norte de Chile. Ahora tengo vaccaciones y quiero conocer el sur de Chile antes de tengo que volver al Antofa en el fin de febrero. Hablo ingles y estoy aprendiendo espanol tambien. Puedo ayudarte con tu ingles si quieres! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel more around South America (mostly Chile, Argentina, and Peru) before going back to work and would like to keep my costs low. I also think couchsurfing is a great way to meet people and learn more about a city and culture from a local perspective. I love meeting people and exchanging stories and learning about others.
