CURRENT MISSION
Keep up with languages, work as an engineer, meet people, travel around and have some fun along.
ABOUT ME
I have had a great experiences with CS around the world (mainly in South Korea, Europe and the US). I graduated as a chemical engineer in Buenos Aires and worked as a petroleum engineer for an energy company ever since. I lived for a long time in Buenos Aires and spent 2.5 years in the field in Neuquen. I travelled around as much as I can. Now I am finishing my MSc in reservoir engineering and geosciences in Paris.
PHILOSOPHY
When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life you have a thousand reasons to smile ;)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I host you, I make you happy! You host me, you make me happy! We make the world a better place with this worldwide community :)
I have been hosted a lot more than I have hosted so far. Hopefully that will change soon. This all began when I was an exchange student in the US at the age of 16. I wanted to go around the country and have some fun, so I decided to try something different and joined CS. I got to meet some pretty cool guys in different cities around the United States, South Korea, Italy, France, Portugal, Spain, Czech Republic, Morocco, Belgium, Croatia, Germany and Argentina from then on!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have been hosted by about fifty different people and have had super interesting, fun and cultural experiences with all of them. I have stayed with couchsurfers in Washington DC, Busan, Jeju Island, New York City, Portland, Chicago, Philadelphia, St Louis, Toledo, Cleveland, Columbus, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Barcelona, Genova, Verona, Padova, Florence, Bologna, Milano, Napoli, Marseille, Brussels, Lisboa, Prague, Torino, Nîmes, Marrakesh, Toulouse, Bordeaux, Lille, Porto, Biarritz, Paris, London, La Rochelle, Saintes, Frankfurt, Berlin, Hamburg, Leipzig, Lübeck, Zagreb, Dresden, Nuremberg, Heidelberg, Athens and Tel Aviv (49 cities and 14 countries). I totally loved it!
I have hosted people from France, Australia, New Zeland. England, Spain, Holand, Czeck Republic, Germany, the United States and South Africa. All great experiences so far!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Meeting once again in 2014 two French guys from Marseille that I have hosted back in 2013 in Buenos Aires and staying at their place!!! Same story with two French guys from Paris. Lovely memories :)
Teach, Learn, Share
Every person has something special to offer and we all should learn those things from everyone around and share that one special thing we have!
What I Can Share with Hosts
I love speaking about current issues in the world to hear different opinions from different parts of the world. I enjoy talking about things like the European Union, the US politics and government, the situation in the Middle East, the developing countries such as India, China, Brazil, etc. and different opportunities around the world to travel around and meet new people (festivals, government programs, etc.), etc. Nowadays I am particularly interested in ecology and sustainable communities. I can always find something interesting to talk about with every person I meet :)
