Member Monday: María García González

Meet María from Chile, a chemist, traveler and the House Leader at our Bushwick House.

Tell us a bit about yourself.

Hello everyone! My name is María. I am 24 years old and I am from Chile, the longest country in South America, full of mountains and volcanos. I recently finished my studies in Chemistry and I decided to take a break far from home by coming to NYC! I have always been passionate about filling my life with new adventures and staying in NYC with Outpost is my latest one! I love outdoor activities, meeting new people and learning about them, including sharing life experiences, as well as singing and dancing (especialy latin rythims like salsa or bachata!). 

What's your favorite Outpost memory?

It's hard to pick! One good memory with Outpost was the Roaring 20's party we had at the Knickerbocker House. All the House Leaders met up before to help set up the party. It's nice to get to know the people I'm working with at events like this, and this is just the beginning! There are so many more memories to come...

What’s your favorite part of New York?

I could say that it is difficult to pick my favorite part of NYC, but for now I can say that besides Brooklyn Bridge it would be Chinatown because there are so many bakeries right next to each other and I am a big fan of sweets!

What are you working on now?

Some of my goals for this year are to improve my English for my next adventure: I've never been to Europe and I'd love to go there after here! After this, I'm going to look for my dream job: something that will let me travel the world as I work. I want to continue helping people and doing everything with love as I always do, because life is so beautiful and I am so fortunate to be where I am in this moment... sé siempre únicamente tú!
