Hello everyone! I'm Javiera from Chile. I recently finished a 9 month-trip backpacking through Asia with my boyfriend Cristobal. We are now settling down in Melbourne, Australia for at least 1 year.

I joined couchsurfing few years ago but then I didn't use it because of my studies (so I don't know why I created the account). But now that we are travelling we are willing to live this experience! We have done CS in China and India and it was amazing, one of the best experiences of our travel so far.

I'm looking forward to meet people from all around the globe so I can make the most of every place I visit. Travel is one of my passions, I've been in different countries and I'm always impressed with what I see and learn 👐 I love nature, wildlife, trekking, diving, mountaneering and everything that is involved with it, and I'm always trying to do my best for the environment 🙏🌳♻.
We are really easy-going, we love to hang out and grab some beers (or anything else 😜) and just have a good time.

See you! :)😀😊

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people from the countries I will visit and from all over the world! I believe that the best way to get to know a place better is by meeting local people and learn more about their culture from insideout.
And of course to host people once I'm settle down :)

Interests

I'm interested in exploring new cultures, learn every day as much as possible. I'm interested in making our planet a better place for the future generations. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swim with manta rays and turtles (doing snorkeling). Also when I was diving once, a sea lion passed by!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning new things and I also consider myself as an "acceptable" spanish or english teacher. So if you are interested I can teach you some Spanish words!

Good conversations, I'm also a good listener and I can cook some Chilean meals! :)
