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.
