  Hello everybody! My name is Natalia Ayala Abarca, I was born in Buenos aires, Argentina, but since I was 5 month old I have lived in Chile. When I was little I lived in Santiago, Chile, and I went to Saint Rose School up to 6th grade, since 7th grade to higth school I went to Liceo Carmela Carvajal de Prat. In 2006, I started to study visual arts at Universidad de Chile, but in my second year I got pregnant, I had to work very hard and dropped out the university. I think my priorities changed drastically and I realized that this was not the path for my. Today I live in Graneros, a city near to Rancagua, in the sixth region, with my four crazy, funny and wonderful children and I am currently in my third year of forest engineering, a career that I love. I like watching series or movies at home or sometimes going to the cinema, riding a bike, but what I like to do the most is travel, see new places, sleep, relax and just spend time with my family.
