My name is Beatriz and I am from Temuco. I am a translator and English teacher. I am finishing my MA in Education and applied linguistics. I define myself as the eternal student. I simply love learning. At the moment I am doing online courses on reflexology, meditation and photography. Ah, and also tai Chi .
I love music and arts in general. I am happily married and I have a 15 year old cat named Kat.
I love the simple things in life and I love interacting with people and nature. I hate injustice and the individualistic world we live in at the moment. However, I have faith we can all make a difference every day.
