Overview
About Me
I'm studying Sociology and working as a sociologist at a small research company here in Buenos Aires. I like to spend my time mostly having a beer with friends or just walking around my city with them, watching movies, or attending to gigs and concerts at local small pubs. When I stay at home I enjoy playing the guitar with my sister who plays piano. When I need some peace of mind I just spend my time drawing random doodles while listening to music, cooking, and dancing (even used to take dance classes... musicals are one of my guilty pleasures)
Of course I consider traveling as the most rewarding experience there is: new places, new smells, new flavours, new views... getting to meet different cultures and different ways of looking at the world.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I think this is a necessary selfless community to promote culture exchange in many levels. Walking around, meeting for coffee or beer and conversation, hosting and being hosted... Sharing your trip with a native at least makes you feel the city as if it's your own a little bit.
