Hobbies

I was raised in the Andes mountains in Chile by my Chilean mother and American father, in an organic farm and apiary. I enjoy reading, writing, hanging out with my friends, watching films, listening to music, hiking, ice skating (though I'm bad at it!), going to art museums, and traveling. Last summer I spent a week in Berlin, writing and exploring the city.
