About Me

I am an honest person , I love meeting new people , especially having different viewpoints and critical capacity against social inequalities and how the system works. I find it more interesting to talk and share experiences in different places, with different cultures and customs. I participated actively in social movements , especially the women and any community that also seek to preserve the environment . I love traveling, I had long without it and I'm excited to reconnect with this way of life , in transit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined this site because I think a good initiative the fact " trocar " or exchange experiences, and no money. I think all forms of coorperación between people work to seek greater welfare and gaunt alternative to neoliberalism.
And also because I feel terrific to know places through the same people who inhabit those territories, share stories, tips and contexts , escaping into the picture postcard . I like the idea of ​​being away somewhere , rather than a tourist.

Interests

Since childhood I liked to be inhabiting different places. I was born in Santiago de Chile (Capital City) and at age 11 I went to southern Chile to a village, then to Valdivia (city in southern Chile, very beautiful otherwise). And I liked to travel, I know much of my country. And therefore I studied anthropology, because it would be a race interpreted according to travel and especially to meet and learn from other people and cultures. I am also a feminist, and I have a class called "Weaving Rebeldías" in Valdivia with which we conduct demonstrations, feminist schools, art events and public to realize the violence that women experience above all and sexual dissidence in general, and to educate from a gender perspective.
On the other hand I love movies, and documentaries, it is therefore that I have plans to continue studying under that line.
Overall I love music and art and all cultural manifestation. Human love and above all the divergent manifestations

I have worked with women in rural areas who have survived severe gender violence through workshops , discussions and feminist events , those people have been able to overcome and become self-sufficient women, learning to value and love themselves .
