CURRENT MISSION

FuFu y Chucu Chucu Chucu Chucu!!!

ABOUT ME

I am a very curious person. I love art, reading, learning, talking, party... Of course, I love traveling. I enjoy nature, going camping, animals, rivers, mountains... And I also like big cities, movement, going out to bars, out for a drink, walking around... I practice Aikido.

I worked for several years in Argentina's National Space Agency, with satellites data and images: that was really cool!

PHILOSOPHY

Be optimistic, humble, curious, learn and share, share, share: then you will be happy, confident and you will meet wonderful people!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

CS is part of myself. Of what I think and I am as a person.

I hosted a lot during University years, but now I live with my girlfriend in a small house, in a neighborhood that is far from downtown. So it is not easy to host now.

I'm a pasive member of the CS Group of my city, Córdoba. It has very special people.

I've also traveled a bit...

I started in Hospitality Club (http://www.hospitalityclub.org/hc/travel.php?cid=akhorus) but that doesn't seem to be working now...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted several people in my different houses. I always enjoyed it. Once, I met a guy who didn't stay at home but wanted me to show him around in my city. We went out for a couple of beers that week!!! Afterwards, when he was at his home, he made me understand he is gay and he liked me!!!

Once, a french buddy hosted 5 of us in a wonderful place by the mountains.

Interests

So many things!!! I am very curious, so I like to see, do, learn and experience whatever is new for me. The things I enjoy the most are those that I still don't know.

I love reading, in English and Spanish. I have lot's of books!!! And since my gf gave me the e-reader, I haven't seen much daylight ;-)

I'm very serious about practicing Aikido.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: lots!!! I read a lot and love it. I prefer reading good literature but I also read best sellers. I love to read in english and I wish I could read more in French...

Old time favorites are Tolkien books.
I enjoyed reading Harry Potter, Eragon, A song of fire and Ice, Dune and that kind of amusing fantasy books (I recommend "La saga de los confines" of Liliana Bodoc).

I loved some Japanese-culture related books, such as Shogun, Tai-Pan, Musashi...

Still, I read and have read a lot of Latin-american literature, some of my favorites being García Marquez, Isabel Allende, Cortazar, Piglia...

Teach, Learn, Share

Develop your empathy. As a fellow Couch Surfer, Chris, said to me: "This is a key concept in nonviolence,
culture for peace. to empathize is to humanize and
leads to compassion."

Don't stay a someone's place for too long: some people have difficulties telling you that they wish you to go!!!
