About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy my current mission

ABOUT ME

Well, I find it difficult to describe all about me... I guess I don´t even know all about me but, to summarize, I would say that I´m an easy-going person quite eager for getting to know new people and new places.
When I´m travelling I like to visit the attractions and important places of the country I´m in, but still I find much more fullfilling to just get in touch with a nice location, person or natural spot that makes you feel in contact with the world.
I´m not a real hard-core globetrotter and my purpose is not get to know every single country in the world, but still travelling is one of the activities that I enjoy the most and I would try to do it as much as I can, hopefully couchsurfing will help me in that quest!

PHILOSOPHY

Well, i wouldnt say that I have such a thing like a strict philosophy in life, I just try to live and enjoy life without disturbing the others. Though I do have one phrase about life that I like:
¨In the end, it's not going to matter how many breaths you took, but how many moments took your breath away¨

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Nothing so far, but I´m looking forward to getting started.

Interests

I think my main interest is music, but I´m not a musician, I just enjoy a lot listening to music and I´m always open to new stuff on that field, though I have alreayd my preferences.
I also like hiking and most of outdoors activities. Reading is also on my list with some predilection for old authors.
I practice some sports right now, but what I like the most its swimming and rowing.
Besides I´m interested in my field of work: biomedical sciences, and I always enjoy a nice conversation about that topic or others related.
But, in general, I enjoy to have some relaxed moment myself reading outside drinking my mate tea (its an argentinian tea) or, if I´m with someone else, to have a relaxed and honest conversation.
