I'm Macarena (Yes, as the song, but please don’t say that) from Chile, and now living in Copenhagen since april.
After years of hard work as a psychologist, i decided to have an incredible adventure and travel around the world, so my dream starts now.
My purpose on this journey is to learn and get to know different cultures, lifestyles, people, etc.
My biggest passion in life are animals -i love them all haha-, painting & drawing. “MibanezCrea” is my business, were i make portraits of animals. I also love dancing -reggaeton, salsa and bachata-, reading, and helping people -in different ways-.
I'm a psychologist and floral Therapist -Bach's flowers. If you have childrens, this skills can be of assistance to help them.
My family is everything: My mom (Titi), dad (Nelson) , sister (Vale) -19 years old-, four dogs: Layka, Luna, Manyi and Lira, two chinchillas (Chloe and Mili), 1 hedgehoge (Violeta) and two rats (Amapola and Qwerty). Yeah i know... A lot of animals, and i love them all!
I love cooking vegan food - i like to improove-, teaching, creating, tidying up, and looking for new and different ways to do the life easier. I love dancing (i'm always listening music haha, life without music is so boring!)
I'm social, funny, cheerful and relaxed, so i'll be happy living and helping you guys!
See you soon!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in Antartic for two years when i was little, because of my father's job. Since then i've lived in a lot of places in Chile (Valdivia, Santiago, Punta Arenas, Antofagasta). I think that's the reason why i love travelling and i can't stay in a place for a long time hahaha.
Since i was a child, my parents took me into art lessons, and now i have my own business (MibanezCrea)
I have been a volunteer in dog's shelter and temporar home for rescued dogs.
