🇦🇶 NATIONALITY
Let's save each other some time and go straight to the point: I have both Argentinian and Italian citizenships. If the Argentinian part bothers you, then I suggest you to move on. Otherwise you are welcome to read the rest of this and of course talk to me. 🙂

ℹ️ GENERAL
I love learning and discovering new and old things. I find amazing when someone tells me something I have never heard or seen before, or that is completely in a different way I would have thought about it. I'm a multiculture supporter and I believe that everybody in the world can be friends no matter ethnicity, while it always exists a mutual respect for each other, life, and people's and live beings' rights.

👴🏻👵🏻 ANCESTRY
I'm mostly Italian with a pinch of Spanish and German, but my grand, grandparents moved to Argentina and made the rest of their lives here, so by place of birth I'm Argentinian.

🌳 NATURE
Since I was a little child I have learnt to love nature, spending long hours at the open air staring at each live being, and watching documentaries and movies about Biology, Ecology, and sustainable development.

🍅 FOOD
When I was 16 years old, for reasons I don’t remember, I became vegetarian, and till today I still am, having stopped only once with the diet for a period of 7 months, after having sustained it for 1 year. Despite not remembering the reasons I had at that moment, I can show you strong scientific evidence about the self conscious of other animals, which is enough proof for me for feeling like a murderer if I ever ate meat again. But don’t worry about this! I am respectful for people who likes eating meat, and I will never come arround telling you what to eat or telling you are a bad person for doing so, but I would appreciate if you had consideration for me when choosing a shared food, for example, a pizza.

🐞 AGROECOLOGY
When I was already at university, I acquired a more complex way to see before mentioned subjects, resulting in the knowdlege I gained mainly from the proffesors of the Free Chair of Food Sovereignty – UNLP. While I no longer politically agree with them, they were the trigger of my passion for studying Agroecology.
I think Agroecology can do a lot about the environment and people's health.

🏛 OLD CULTURE
I have always had a big interest for Natural Philosophy and the Renaissance which express knowdleges and values that today seem to have been forgotten or ignored.

👻 MY LOGIC ON SPIRITISM
According to my addition with Rationalism, I have a solid conviction for my beleif in atheism. Despite that, due to personal experiencies that I haven’t been able to register so I can use as evidence, I also believe in spirits, being my scientific hypothesis that, like a star when it dies and its light continues traveling through space, these are the ghosts of people’s souls, because, in agreement with the First Law of Thermodynamics, energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but only transformed from one form to another.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

🤝 I want to meet locals from other cities as well as host them.

🧚🏻‍♀️ I think life is more exciting when you come across someone unknown telling you an original story, it adds some taste to the day and kind of kills routine, time flows nicer.

🌎 I also would like to make friends from other countries, know different cultures, talk in different languages, and all those amazing things one can do with international friends!!!

Algo increíble que he hecho

🎸 ROCK AND ROLL
I had a rock band at highschool, I was the singer, and we won the provincial band competition! The prize was a payed travel to a beautiful hotel in Bariloche, Andean Mountains, where we met amazing young people like us that had also won the provincial competition. We hanged out playing music with a wood fire, singing, playing cards, eating a lot of food and drinking the best craft beer, it was just like a dream!!!

👨🏻‍⚕️ SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
Another great thing I have done, already at university, was participating on two scientific and technologic projects. I put a lot, literally, a lot of effort on them, so everything worked just perfect, but I think that's one of the reasons I couldn't make it at uni on the first years...
The first one, is called Arbolado Urbano, it is a world map about city trees, and you can check it here.

The second one, called Biogás UNLP, was about producing landfill gas with organic waste coming from the uni's restaurant, and from the Faculty of Veterinary Sciences. That was rewarded with 213200 Euros, which came from the rectorate of National University of La Plata, in 2017.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

🍀 I can teach you the basics of agroecology, where to buy organic food and how to cook vegetarian food.
💻 Also, I'm a hardcore geek so if you need help with anything related to software I can show you how to do some things.

🎓 I'd love to learn anything you might come up with. 🙂

I have learned some great life lessons from many people who changed my life and I highly admire, so as a tribute to them I'll mention them as follows:
👴🏻 My grandfather, who passed away on 2021. May he rest in peace and be honored by all of us who loved him.
👨‍👨‍👧‍👦 My cousins.
👨🏻 My neighbor Miguel.
👴🏿 B.B. King.
👴🏻 Brian May.
👴🏻 George R.R. Martin.
👨🏻 Indio Solari.
👴🏻 José Larralde.
👨🏻 Lemmy Kilmister.
👴🏻 Leonardo Da Vinci.
👨🏻 Luca Prodan.
👨🏻 Norberto Aníbal "Pappo" Napolitano.
👩🏻 Paula Carlino.
👴🏻 Robert Plant.

🐠 For sure I'm forgetting many of the important ones, but still I think it's a fair amount of people.
