    Description

    Hi travelers! My name is Trinidad, I spent five years of my life travelling around the globe and now, in my own country, I want to offer a home to other travelers.

    I´m an actress, I work (with other 10 nice, kind and smiley people) in a cultural center located pretty close to the city center in Talca. We are a non-for-profit corporation that host and plans cultural and educational events and programs related to contemporary arts, incluiding theater, music, exhibitions (visual arts, photography, handy crafts) and literature (we have a small library). We need help from people who love the comunitary job, arts and culture. Artists, musicians, painters, performers travelers are very welcome.

    Hola viajeros, mi nombre es Trinidad y durante cinco años viajé por el mundo usando workaway, fue la mejor experiencia. Ahora que ya estoy en mi país quiero ofrecer un hogar a viajeros.

    Soy actriz y pertenezco a un centro cultural, que está compuesto por 10 personas sonrientes, amables y amantes de las artes y que está ubicado en el centro de la ciudad de Talca. Es una organización sin fines de lucro donde ofrecemos talleres de todo tipo, espectáculos y una pequeña biblioteca. Necesitamos la ayuda de personas que amen el trabajo comunitario, el arte y la cultura. Artistas viajeros son muy bienvenidos.
