Hello there,

I am Juan Careaga, I was born and raised in Valdivia. 

 

As a southern boy, I really enjoyed the rain and winter. I am a member of a family of 4. Sometimes, I tend to say we were 6 as I like to include my grandmother Anna and my dog 'sombra'. My father was a Math teacher at the local school. He liked to play chess and dominoes on Sunday evenings with me. My sister and mother are both nurses at the local hospital. They work together since my sister graduated from university. Usually they cooked sopaipillas for us on weekends. Grandmother enjoyed doing word jumble games.

 


Our dog has a black tail and likes to bark at the shadows. He is very playful but extremely cautious with strangers. 

 

I studied at University of Valparaiso but finished here in Santiago. My favourite free time activities are watching sports (I love cricket) and taking tours around the city. I also lived in England where I did a master on Linguistics and Language-Spanish and English. Teaching is what I like the most.

    hello! the sopaipillas are the most delicious thing, I like to cook it in winter because it feels warm.
    It's something nostalgic.
