I am going through an amazing spiritual awakening, connecting with the roots and important things in life... all this occurs whereas I try to write a dissertation about higher education in Chile. I grew up in the limit of the Atacama desert, and then, I moved to Santiago to study journalism. I ended up loving the field of higher education, so I decided to study a master and a doctorate in the field. I am now based in Seattle. I feel myself as a dancer in spirit...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I feel a little bit strategic about this at this particular moment. A friend of mine came from Chile to visit me and we wanted to go to Vancouver for the weekend, but there is no place to stay there. That urgency brought me here.
But, at a deeper level, I see that this urgency is giving me the opportunity to learn how to trust and be open with whatever is in front of me. In a long term, I would love to be a host and learn from all of the day and night travelers that are seeking to discover the different faces of the worlds where we inhabit.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trying to connect with my roots

Teach, Learn, Share

I am learning a lot about the "other". Intrigued how male and female build their gender identities. I am good at listening, and creating good energy. I usually exchange English and Spanish. I also write poetry sometimes when the soul is more open.
