About Me

CURRENT MISSION

world domination!

ABOUT ME

Among other interests I basically love MUSIC (most of genres and some non-genre types), FOOD (cooking and eating elaborated home-made cuisine), DRINKS (especially wine or fruit juice), CULTURE (history, politics, tradition and the diversity of all the peaceful activities of humanity in all the world) and NATURE (enjoying every environment with full respect to animals and plants). Because of those main interests I travel a lot.
Most of the time at my hometown I dedicate my life to Near Eastern archaeology and to my music projects.
I teach as assistant professor at the University of Buenos Aires and research for the Institute of Near Eastern Studies.
I rehearse, compose, produce and learn music. I spend many hours producing and recording stuff in a little studio.
I'm a member of an Archaeological Mission at the tomb of Neferhotep in Luxor (EGYPT) and I work there every winter season since 2002. I'm also a tourist guide in Egypt and other Near Eastern countries.

PHILOSOPHY

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I offer my couch to sleep, everything inside my refrigerator and my help to move around. We are going to exchange experiences and talk a lot. Depending on my free time I will take my guest to some places I like and find relevant considering his/her interests.

Interests

The rest of my interests are: MOVIES (especially independent and from all over the world but always with the original language with subtitles), THEATRE (small venue plays), MONTY PYTHON (Flying Circus and all the movies, I love absurd comedy), SPORTS (i'm a tennis fan but I play soccer and enjoy good matches) and MARTIAL ARTS (I used to practice Kung Fu).
