About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Hola!! I am going to visit L.A and the coast of California this summer so my plan is to get to visit a lot of places, take great pictures and of course meet awesome people on the way. Then I will be traveling to Mexico for a few weeks!

ABOUT ME

Hola!! I am a friendly person, quite spontaneous and always trying to keep a positive attitude in life .What I most enjoy is traveling and meeting new people from all walks of life! In the last few years I have traveled around South America, The Caribbean, Europe and now I am the "mission" to visit the West coast of USA and every awesome landscapes from there. The plan is more to improvise I guess! After visiting USA I would like to spend a few weeks in Southern Mexico! I enjoy all kind of outdoor sports, photography, music, food gastronomy and chatting to people from different countries and cultures. Life is good!

PHILOSOPHY

I can say that traveling helps you see and understand a different reality than the one you already know. Every single place I have ever visited, it is always linked to someone who made it special in their own way, so all these great/ happy moments are much better if shared with someone! Sure I always start my trips on my own but after just a few hours even minutes you bump into someone cool with a good story to be told.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This is actually the first time I am using couchsurfing and all the experiences are being really good!

Interests

Something that always grabs my attention is the gastronomy of the places I visit. As a food lover I don’t think twice when it comes to try new dishes from all over the world. Music is without a doubt something that I can´t live without ( I play drums and piano for fun) I enjoy doing outdoor activities such as kayaking, rafting, climbing cycling...oh yes and ping pong! When I went to Cuba I learnt how to dance “salsa” and "bachata” so I must include dancing as my new hobby too! I really like photography and learning new techniques is always good fun!

Music, Movies, and Books

Dire Straits, Depeche Mode, Pink Floyd, Johnny Cash, The Highwaymen, etc. I enjoy reading true based story books and any type of travelling magazines. As for movies I pretty much like everything.. well except for chic flicks ...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Contemplating the stars in Cabo Polonio (Uruguay)
The streets of Trinidad, Cuba really amazed me. It´s like if you were walking many years ago in a western movie.
Riding my bicycle in the city center of Buenos Aires in rush hour was definitely the most “adrenaline boost” moment I have ever had! Diving in the cenotes of México.
