My name is Meagan and I am from the US, but I have been living in Chile for over 10 years. I am married to a Chilean and with have two kids with dual citizenship. Both speak English and Spanish, my son also speaks Italian and some French. My Husband speaks Spanish, English, and French. We enjoy traveling, getting to know different cultures, trying new food, biking, running, hiking, and organic gardening.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am interested in hosting people in my home so they can get to know Chile and stay with us as a homestay family. We have an extra bedroom with a single bed and another single bed that we can add. I am also interested in traveling, on my own and with family. I travel annually for work and I usually take a couple weeks off to visit new places.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy various types of Latin Music, such as Salsa and Bachata. I also like R&B and pop artists.
I like romantic comedies, and series that are health care related, mysteries, etc.
As for books, lately I have been reading a lot about parenting because I have two small kids (aged 2 and 6), and also books related to systems thinking and business management.
