About myself,
My name is Beatriz and I was born in the
city of Temuco. I like what I do, which
is teaching. But above all I love travelling and learning all kinds of new
things, and in all areas (mostly humanities).
I suppose I am one of those “eternal students” At the moment I am doing a
course in Buddhism and modern psychology at the University of Princeton and “I
am loving it”.
I am happily married and have a 14 year old
cat. I like sports, music, films and arts in general. In contrast, I do not
like unsympathetic people and I do not believe in this individualistic society
in which people seem to count for the money and possessions they have.
