About Me

Sounds a bit cliché but my ultimate dream is to visit every country in the world, to at least learn the basic of every language.
I have a cat called Zamba, she's super cute and sweet and everytime I travel I miss her the most.
I just finished studying journalism and now I'm starting a three month backpacking trip around Europe in winter so I'm really exited.
It's the third time I go but this time I'll be traveling a lot more time and I'll visit more places and countries.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because I believe in communities and solidarity. I also think is a great way to meet new people and experience the real cultures. Right now I can't host nobody but eventualy when I have my own place I'll really like to because it's a way of traveling even without moving.
I want to share life experiences and the best way to do that is by staying with locals and share their way of living.

Interests

I studied journalism and I discovered that what I really love is to make audiovisual content like documentaries so I decided to travel and record and photograph all the places I visit. It's like writing a book but in pictures and videos.
I also like to discover the secrets of every place I go: the best spots to eat, to drink, to take a nap on a summer day after a long day walking around.
I'm very curious, I love big markets and trying things I've never saw before

Music, Movies, and Books

I like female artists like Amy Winehouse, Joss Stone, Perota Chingó (from Argentina). I also love bands like The Rolling Stones or The Clash. But I can mix it with reggae, funk, some pop and even cumbia (also from Argentina and Latin America)

I'm currently reading "El libro de los abrazos" by Eduardo Galeano, a very popular author from Uruguay.

I love documentary movies but I can also enjoy a comedy, a drama or an action movie. It depends of the moment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Portugal alone when I was 21. It was my first trip alone and I was really scared of geting bored or homesick but I enjoy it a lot and I meet a lot of people. And I almost fall in Boca do Inferno - a cliff in Cascais - but a fisherman saved me from possibly dying. Now I laugh about it but in that moment I was super scared.

I don't know if it's amazing but I moved a lot when I was a child so I think that my passion for traveling started there.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach people to make empanadas and some other argentinian food.
I'll love to learn different languages and I'll like to learn how to play guitar or any instrument because I think music it's a very good company when you're traveling alone.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share life experiences, tips from the places I've visited. I also can teach hosts a little of sound edition - the basics - and I can share what I know about photography.
I can also be a very good spanish teacher and you'll learn how to swear like we do in Buenos Aires.

I'll love to share some beers, something to eat or to just walk around, take photos and talk.
