About Me
ABOUT ME
I'm an organizer with an organization called Mijente working to build radical social change with Latinx communities in the U.S. I focus on working on membership engagement and supporting our folks in building out local work. I love my job and deeply align with our values of being pro-black, pro-LGBTQ, pro-woman, pro-immigrant, pro-worker and pro-justice.
I was originally born in Santiago, Chile in 1989. I moved to the U.S. when I was 7 years old and grew up in the DC area. I currently live in DC with my partner and our dog but travel a lot for work.
I'm open-minded, easy-going and love meeting new people. I love good whiskey, beer and wine; dancing; being outdoors and eating good food.
I speak Spanish and English fluently.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love meeting new people are excited about potentially hosting and building relationships with folks from across the US and the world. We're particularly interested in hosting LGBTQ folks and/or folks who are justice minded.
