Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To bring lovely chaos into my life
ABOUT ME
To tell you all about me is too much.
I'm 32 years old and at the moment I live in Buenos Aires.
I've done an stage for 3 months in France, in a 3 Michelin stars restaurant and afterwards, I've been traveling around Europe for another 2 months...
I'm a sommelier (wine advisor) and I work as a maitre in one of the best bars in Buenos Aires... but there are many other aspects to my life that I love sharing with other people.
PHILOSOPHY
I love chaos but also I love details.
I'm a curious person.
I try to live for the moment and enjoy every second. Don't wanna get old and find out that my life has passed without interesting stuff happening to me.
Happiness & passion is my moto.
I'm a mixture of anarchism, existencialism & taoism (or at least, that's how I see myself)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I know my country quite well... there are a lot of amazing things, but definetely one of the most amazing things I have done is walking over the Perito Moreno Glaciar... another was going under the fullmoon to the top of the Andes, near Las Cuevas in Mendoza.I love my country!EUROPEAN UPDATE:- Autumn in Brugge, WOW... if you get to avoid the crowd, and get some peaceful spot in a park (mine was around 9 am in Astridpark), is wonderful!- Crossing a tunnel under the Thames river (from Grenwich to Canary Wharf) and a guy playing his flute-PRAGUE... everything there is magic
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach stuff about wine and different beverages, I'm really into whisky for the time being.
I'm also really obsessed with languages, so I'm one of those people that if you let me I'll correct everything in case you're trying to learn Spanish.
things you should know about BA:
-to travel on buses you need coins
-whenever you go to a bar or restaurant, TIP IS NOT INCLUDED; though is not compulsory, it's expected from you to leave 10% of your check
-Speaking from experience security in Buenos Aires is important - be careful! I see a lot of people around with superdupermega photocameras hanging on their necks... that's like putting a steak on the face of a bear
