About Me

/// UPDATING INFO - After I traveled through Pinnewitz-Dresden-Leipzig-Hannover-Rathenow I finally arrived in Berlin when I managed to stop traveling for a while, settled down and having a more deep experience of the city. So far I liked so much that I spend some time (a lot) thinking in ways to establish here and the most reliable seem to make a Ph.D. at TU - What??? , yes...many things happening - I only want to thanks all the people that have hosting me and all the great experiences that I have live with this awesome group of crazy people, I love them all ///

I was an architect/teacher/editor in Santiago but now I’m just a woman searching/looking/learning for new ways of living/staying in Germany

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because friends are the most important. My first experience in Couchsurfing was in München. I arrive mostly alone and after one month and a half I can say that I leave many friends there. In that process I was constantly leaving my comfort zone, but that was a challenge well rewarded.
