About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel and be happy!

ABOUT ME

I'm from Chile. I was born in Brasil and lived there until I was 7 years old, since then I lived in Santiago, Chile.

In 2013 I finished my studies on Fine Arts in Chile, and moved to Melbourne with my husband Nicolás. Over there we lived for over 4 years and we absolutely loved the city and the people. By the end of that period it was time to say goodbye to Australia and time for a new adventure.
In November 2017 we moved to Berlin and stayed there for 1 year with a working holiday visa :)

After that I had the opportunity to travel to Japan! It was the most amazing experience in my life, actually was a dream I had since I was a little kid!! I have no words to describe how amazing that trip was, and I'm really looking forward to visit again :)

Now we're back in Chile, and we're loving it! It's been so great to rediscover your own country and being able to see everything from a different perspective.

Currently I've got a part time job in an office and and have a little home studio for tattooing.

If you would like to catch up let me know, I might be a bit busy between work and tattoos but it would be cool to meet new people.

PHILOSOPHY

Be respectul, be honest with yourself, and trust that you can reach your goals if you really want to =D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience surfing was in Melbourne when I first moved there, and I loved it! After that I got addicted to it, I realised it's just an amazing way of getting to know more people and cultures, through a beautiful exchange of knowledge and stories that I'm very interested in. It's also a way of helping each other to discover the world and travel more :)

I love arts in general, and particularly drawing and music. I'm a handpoke tattoo artist :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music, don't have a specific genre that I prefer, but in general I listen to a lot of rock/metal/alternative bands such as Black Sabbath, Opeth, All Them Witches, but also love jazz, triphop and world music

I love Japanese literature (such as Yasunari Kawabata, Haruki Murakami, Matsuo Bashō, Kobayashi Issa)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking and doing crafts in general, so I'm always happy to have a nice dinner at home with my hosts or even do some "crafternoons" hahha I also do handpoke tattoos, so if tattoos are your thing then I'll be happy to give you one as exchange for having me around for a few days ;)
