About Me

CURRENT MISSION

de la experiencia al conocimiento / from experience to knowledge

ABOUT ME

I was born in Buenos Aires but have lived in different cities in Argentina during my childhood, adolescence and adulthood. Moving places has somehow been an important part of my life. I´m now in Spain, where I came to do a postgraduate course in 2010 and where I´ll probably stay a bit longer.
I love travelling and I´ve been fortunate enough to be able to do so on different occasions. Travelling, along with other experiences, has opened a world of new possibilities and perspectives and has taught me valuable things.
Couchsurfing and similar organizations/sites have enriched that travelling experience by allowing me to get to know amazing human beings with whom I could share ideas, experiences and most importantly, cultures. It´s precisely this intercultural communication that makes everything worth it.

PHILOSOPHY

to let peace guide my thoughts and actions

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Host and surf. Invite people over for a drink/meal, show around the city, participate in events, etc.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted people and been hosted by other members on several occasions (both through an organization similar to CouchSurfing called Hospitality Club and through CouchSurfing). I guess the most fascinating thing about this type of experience is realizing that we´re all human beings and that we´ve got so much in common, much more than what we imagine.
