About Me

I grew up in a quite big city and moved to this fantastic place that is Buenos Aires to study, and then stayed to work there. My job involves a lot of meeting new people and showing them about my culture. There is just one thing I enjoy more than that: learning from others :)

In 2021, I got a scholarship that is awarded to people all around the world, and that's the best part of it, as I got to know some really cool people even from countries I've never heard of. I lived in Cardiff to pursue a MA in Journalism, Media and Comms. Then I came back to BA. because I love its vibe and everything the city offers.

I'm part of some relevant youth networks such as Global Shapers and SABF Community.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been hosted by many people on different occasions and each of them has proven me that there's nothing better than opening your heart and house to a fantastic stranger, for both sides. I want to give back a little of that good energy and vibes to the world.

Interests

Reading - well, I'm a book-aholic. My goodreads reading challenge is serious business to me
Singing - I think I sing by default. Don't mention a song I might know because it's a fact, I'll start singing it loud
Imitating Shakira ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Woooow, luckily I've done many amazing things, but maybe they are not huuuuge things, if you know what I mean. I slept in the biggest favela of Brazil.

I like cheering up people's lives :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I do musical comedy, and have taken part in four plays: Addams Family (as Gramma Addams), Shrek (I was one of the 3 little pigs), Frozen (I was a troll from the mountains) and Beauty and the Beast (crazy napkin). So you can see I love funny characters.
