About Me

I'm 25 and I'm from Chile. Currently backpacking through Southeast Asia with the best partner Raimundo :)

I did all the right things at all the right moments.. studied hard, had a good career, graduated on time, found a good job.. but my spirit was always on the search for something else. Always planning my next adventure, my next destination, my next experiences.
Until I found the RIGHT man and instead of planning, we started DOING 🙌🏼🎉
So after a few small adventures in Chile and South America we decided to aim big and go all the way to Australia 🇦🇺

And now, after more than year abroad I can tell you it was the best choice I have made :) It has not been easy, there always challenges in the road - weather is the language, the missing your friends, family, food and pets or yourself putting walls in the way- but the rewards for the soul, heart and mind are too many!
The things my eyes have seen, my heart has felt and soul has lived. It is beyond anything I can explain 💕

I loove cats - I have a cat named Mila <3 and she is with her grandparent now (but don’t worry we talk almost every day 😻)
I love series -being Friends (show) my favorite by far- and movies. I’m like a meme mantra: food and netflix :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I couchsurf during 2 months the summer of 2014 crossing the US from East to West, with two other chilean friends, and had an amazing experience in all 16 cities :)
I really loved to have the possibility to share our hosts, to eat local, to tour around with them and I would be very please to do the same. I'm a firm believer that people are kinder than we think, so lets trust each other and make the most out of this life!

Interests

I really like movies, I think I've pretty much watch them all..
I started travel in United States and the feeling was amazing, so I now, I never want to stop. I don't care how I do it, with a backpack and camping, or couchsurfing, or in hostels. The plan is to travel as far as I can, for as long as I can and experience everything while I can.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like almost all kinds of music, and I don't know if a have a favorite artist but I like acoustic music and good voices no matter what genre.
The same goes to Movies and TV series. Just good acting and evolution of the characters.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went camping to Torres del Paine, Chile and it might not be as amazing as skydiving (which is totally on my list for things to do), but it was incredible. I had never done such a long and hard trekking and camping trail, and the feeling of the first day of wanting to quit because the rain wont stop and my legs and back were giving away, was completely overturn by the beautiful views of the next day when the sun came out. It was hard, but every climb had its own little gift of nature to me, for I was blessed with fresh and clean air in my lungs, a stunning view of mountains, rivers, lakes and woods that my eyes just couldn't believe and a feeling of fulfillment and achievement that I had never felt before.

Teach, Learn, Share

Be the change you want to see in the world.
Fight for what makes your heart tremble, your throat close and your soul aches.
Even if you are just one voice in this universe, say what you believe.
A smile in your face is contagious AF 😂

Good talks, different points of view, travel experiences, ideas. I have lots of ideas for food but don’t know how to apply them, with a bit of help something great might come out of it haha 🙌🏼
