About Me

Im a 28 year old Chilean gal who loves to socialize, dance, travel, and stay active. I've traveled to Chile (to visit "the fam" of course), Israel, France, Italy and Spain so I'm always looking for new friends who love to travel and share their experiences. Most of my time is spent at work in which I provide mental health treatment for children and adolescents. But . . . .a therapist still needs to take care of self So . . .I spend the rest of my time being as active as possible. I enjoy exercising/weight lifting, listening to music, watching rentals,spending time with friends and family and . . . .well . . .my guilty pleasure . . .reality TV. I know. I should be ashamed. I currently commute to Tulare for my job so I'm always open for tips on great places to hang out in Visalia.

My Interests

Traveling, singing, post modern theory,narrative therapy, healthy debates over current topics, listening to music, aerobics, weight training, healthy eating, dancing, outdoor activities, "My Space," (note that this an added interest in my life within this last year and I must say am still unclear about how healthy it is as it is somewhat addictive), LOVE the beach, talking on the phone with my long distance friends, "coffee time" with mom on the weekends, and ..... drum rolll . . .my other unhealthy addiction . . . .reality TV. :o)
