Hello, everyone!! My name is Marcela and I’m from Santiago of Chile. I'm an English teacher and a formal Portuguese speaker (I took some French lessons as well, but I wish I could learn that language more!). I love sports and travelling a lot! Also, I really enjoy meeting people from diverse countries and exchanging life experience. I studied an MA in Psycholinguistics at the University of Essex and I lived in Colchester, England for two years (from October 2018 to December 2020). It was an amazing experience :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people from different cultures and spending time with locals while travelling.
