Hey! My name is Alejandro, I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I'm a PhD student and teacher in organic chemistry at University of Buenos Aires.
I consider myself a peaceful and open minded person who loves meeting people and making new friends. I like so much to travel and experience different cultures. When travelling I also enjoy hiking and being out in nature.
I love photography and enjoy doing long walks and taking and seeing photographs of every place I visit. I also love all type of artistic expression. One of my favorite things about travelling is to taste and learn to cook tipical foods because I definitely believe that eating is the very best pleasure in life. Eating and cooking, specially for others. I enjoy spending time with friends and love music festivals and outdoor activities.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing because I would like to meet locals in the different places I visit as I believe that you cannot really know a place if you don't meet local people. You can get a reliable sight of a culture through local eyes. I hope this experience will be the kick off to also recieve travelers at my place. I love beeing helpful and a good host when people come to my place.
