I'm an exchange student from Chile. My major is Public Administration but here I'm also taking courses about gender issues.

I love meeting new people, especially if they're interested in politics, environment or gender issues. I tend to talk about many of these things in my daily life, so I love learning from others too. I used to study English teaching so I'm very fluent in the language and I also like talking about languages as well !!

I'm very sociable, especially with LGBTQ+ people. I consider myself very open minded, I'm also an activist for sexual rights and sexual identity. I'm also vegetarian for environmental and ethic reasons. I love walking, talking, hiking and sometimes dancing. I love going to parks and enjoying time in natural places as well.

So, maybe we can learn a lot from each other!

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I'm living in the USA during 2019-202 academic year and I'm interested to know about this country, its places and its diverse people. I'm really interested in gender and queer history from the US but I'm very open to learn as many as I can about different topics.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I was president of the students’ union of English Pedagogy (I used to study that). I’ve also been activist in some organizations of Human Rights. I was vegan for one year and I plead for some environmental causes. Along with other queer students organized a whole week of LGBTQ+ issues in my university and now I've been writing for the College newspaper about Latin American issues.
