Description

Hi there! , nice to meet you! Let me tell you a little bit about me :)

I'm from Chile, the narrowest country in the world, which is located in South America, between the Andes Mountains and the Pacific Ocean.

In 2017 I decided to do a university exchange in Brazil, where I had one of the best experiences of my life. What a way to enjoy life!! meeting people from all over the world, being able to learn languages, get to know another country, and above all, create unique memories that I hope never forget!

My travel history began approximately 4-5 years ago. In 2017 I did a university exchange in Brazil, where I had one of the best experiences of my life. What a way to enjoy life!! meeting people from all over the world, being able to learn languages, get to know another country, and above all, create unique memories that I hope never forget!

As I was advancing in my career as an Industrial Engineer, I felt the need to do new things, so I decided to travel with a job for two months in the south of Chile.

In 2019 I had the opportunity to come to Europe for the first time, convincing myself that I had to live a new experience!

Already in the year 2021, I decided to take a trip through the south of Chile, which was supposed to last 1 month, but it ended up being 8!! An incredible experience where I had the incredible opportunity to do a Terkking through Torres del Paine (known as the 8th wonder of the world!), I was able to learn gardening, campsite management, as well as having the opportunity to work as a hostel manager in the charming city of Puerto Varas surrounded by volcanoes!!

The fact of traveling through some countries, added to the passion I have for science, made me more aware of the problems we face and the responsibility we have to face climate change using our knowledge. I decided to register in a technological innovation contest, where I had the incredible opportunity to represent Chile in the world final of scientific innovation in Germany in November of this year, with a project that seeks to mitigate CO2 emissions produced by the textile industry. Come to Germany, present my idea, and then what? Having finished my degree, and being already in Europe, why not try to stay? That is how I came up with the idea of ​​applying for a visa and having a new experience in my life together with the wonderful people I have met and will meet during this and the next year!

Among the things that I enjoy doing the most is going for a walk surrounded by nature, reading a book in a park, talking about existential things while having a coffee or beer together, and of course going out and sharing in a bar, a club or whatever. there is at the moment!

I really like volleyball, table tennis (I played for 4 years, but I forgot everything! hahah), tennis, and of course, soccer! so if you also like any of these sports, do not hesitate to contact me to get together and do some exercise! :)
