My name is Agustina, but everybody called me Tina (easy pronunciation) I'm 27 years old, and currently I'm doing my first travel away from home. I studied biochemist in Buenos Aires, and graduated in 2012. After a couples of years working and saving money, I decided to go to New Zealand to start my adventure. Most people I meet ask me why New Zealand, and I don't have and complete explanation, just the culture and the landscapes are breathtaking.
I was lucky enough to go with a friend, and meet beautiful people too.
After 1 year and 3 months there (a little bit working and a little bit holiday) I started my travel around Asia.
I've been in India for a month.. desserts, mountains, the magnificent Taj, cows, shopping, loud and crowded ... those words describe India in my experience.
After India I flu to Singapore, after that I travel in Malaysia, Cambodia, and Thailand. I have no words to describe how beautiful people is in those countries.
I discovered scuba diving in Koh Tao, so decided to stay there for almost 6 months mastering how to do it!

Now I'm getting to the end of my trip =( I'm travelling in Australia for 3-4 months, and then come back to Argentina.
I will be doing the east coast, from Melbourne to Cairns, including Sidney Brisbane and the Gold coast.

I'm friendly, I enjoy to be outside doing sports, or just walking and visiting around. I love cooking, and of course I also like to eat (a lot) (No joking)(really, i eat a lot)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here because my friends recommended it to me. I learned from my one year travelling, that one of the priceless thing of travelling is meeting new people. Meet new cultures, new food, new languages make the travelling and adventure. This tool is a great opportunity to help you do it!
