About Me

I live in a beautiful apartment in Palermo, Buenos Aires. You can see the picture of the guest room in my photo album :)

I am a private pilot, and I love flying. If you want to see my city from the skies, we can arrange that. The only fee you will have to pay is the cost of the fuel and the flight hours. I don't charge for my piloting :)

Dog disclosure: Freddy, whom you can see in my pics, is my roommate. He's a medium-sized, full-of-love dog. You have to be able to cope with dogs to be in my house, and in return, you'll get plenty of kisses.

ABOUT ME
I have no problem defining myself as a citizen of THE PLANET!

My weakness is fine arts. I'll find a local museum, a concert to listen to, or some Plastic, Music, and Gourmet art expression everywhere I go.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find CS to be one of the most amazing sources to meet new friends from around the world, to offer lodging and food to travelers that will pass the word after and make a huge community of good people who trust in others.

What I Can Share with Hosts

About flying around:
Many guests ask me about flying around Buenos Aires; here I will tell you how it works:
Since I don't own the airplane, there are costs to it. I am not a commercial pilot; therefore, BY LAW, I CAN'T EARN MONEY or offer transport or tourism services, but I CAN TAKE YOU TO FLY WITH ME.
I only ask you to contribute to the costs of this fantastic activity, which are 80 USD if we fly in a four-seat airplane or 40 USD if we fly in a two-seat aircraft. That would cover the rental and gas. The price is for a one-hour flight.

What can we do in one hour? We can see the outstanding Buenos Aires skyline (due to aeronautic restrictions, we can't fly over the city, but we can see it from a decent distance). If the weather permits, we can get to a fantastic spot called "The Mysterious Eye," a mysterious and natural phenomenon unique in the world that you can see mainly from the skies.
In two hours, we can see all the above and land at Martin Garcia Island, halfway between Buenos Aires and Colonia del Sacramento. This Island has two nice restaurants and a wonderful runway.
Most flights, I prefer to do it by the sunset, which will leave your mouth dropping :)
The longer we fly, the more exciting places we can see. We can even get to the Atlantic Ocean and have fish meals there, too :)
