Overview
About Me
Hi! I´m a student -soon to be graduate- from Argentina; I was born and raised in Buenos Aires, the capital of this marvelous country, and for as long as I can remember I was always interested in subjects like geography, anthropology and languages.
My first experience with CS was more than five years ago, during my first trip out of South America. I stayed at Chelsea's home in Calgary, a cozy first night that helped me start an incredible journey through most of North America. I´ve visited most of the continent as well -with my family and friends-, and I can honestly say I´ve become addicted to the thrill that making my luggage creates.
My interests are, well, quite wide! I joined the college of Journalism because I couldn't decide wether I wanted to study Chemistry, Law or something alike. Music, culture in general and sports -like every other argentinian I love football- are topics Im keen into.
I am re-editing this profile because soon I´ll be visiting Europe, and will definetly roam around the continent for a few weeks. If we get to talk to each other, I will provide you with all other necessary information about me, since this words are mostly oriented towards me being a visitor couchsurfer.
ABOUT ME
I'm a lifetime english language student, and I have taken every chance to speak foreign languages my life has given. I enjoy aiding tourists whenever I encounter one and I love backpacking. My friends say I'm particularly outgoing and, like every Argentinian, very talkative! I like music, particularly rock, and sharing a beer while listening to some jazz is something I appretiate above everything.
I'm looking forward to experience the cultural exchange that only occurs whilecouchsurfing!
PHILOSOPHY
I always say I'm neither an Argentinian nor South American; Im an Earthling, and Earth is my home, nevermind borders! I feel that being our planet as huge and varied as it is, we can´t waste our lives by staying for all of it at the same place. This might sound even cornier than what´s above: travelling allows us to get rid of prejudice, fear and ignorance. It´s some kind of cure towards the increasing uncertainty of our futures!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I was introduced to CS by a couple of friends who had amazing experiences I'm looking forward to share too!
I couchsurfed in Canada, and will forever be thankful of the experience.
Most of the other reasons why I am here are covered in my "philosophy".
Interests
I've practised football (soccer) for almost all my life, and pretty much like every otherlatin american, I cannot get tired of playing it! I like watching/playing most sports, and I do it with passion. Also, many of my friends are musicians, and there´s hardly one week every other or so month that I don't attend some kind of gig.
Some of the moments I enjoy the most are having a drink after dinner, chatting about life and each other until I fall asleep and tour-walking through Buenos Aires when i'm with someone who doesn't know the city.

Music, Movies, and Books
Rush, Neil Young, Carlos Santana, 60's and 70's rock; classical and progressive rock, WHATEVER comes to your mind! I love music in most of it's forms.
Books? ha! That's something we can discuss about for hours and hours. Just name the author.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Spending a whole day at Cabo Polonio, Uruguay, amongst friends, sea lions and dogs rushing through the beach, playing volley under the moon and star lights. Being at an isolated beach surrounded by the purest of all environments, with friends and nature, brought me to that point where you feel connected with Earth. Looking forward to repeat such experience is one of my goals in life.
