Overview
About Me
Restless, passionate, and courageous. I am 24 years old, I was born in the city of Salta.
My first time traveling alone was at age 19, in 2015. I went to Recife, in the northeast of Brazil.
During that experience, I lived the carnival, learned to speak a little Portuguese, and volunteer for two months in an NGO called "Missao Educar". This trip was a click in my life. I came back to Buenos Aires and I joined AIESEC, a global NGO led by young people that promote multicultural exchanges.
For 3 years I volunteer in AIESEC, in the local office of Buenos Aires, and then in the national office of AIESEC Argentina. During that time I received more than 12 volunteers from all the world at my home and we manage to deliver thousands of exchanges of Argentines going to the whole world and people coming to many different cities from my country. I have developed a huge passion for Social Entrepreneurship, marketing, and making a positive impact in the world.
After this, I went to Quito in 2018. I did professional practices in CONQUITO in the area of entrepreneurship and innovation. I was fascinated by the organic farms and how Ecuadorians are facing an economic crisis and unemployment promoting local entrepreneurship. After this experience, I went to New York to volunteer in the AIESEC US offices in Wall Street, New York. It was an unforgettable experience, I had the opportunity to practice my English, and to travel to cities like Washington DC for the cherry blossom festival.
Last year I arrived in Spain with the role of National Marketing Director for AIESEC in Spain. I had the opportunity to travel around all the country visiting Madrid, Sevilla, Málaga, Valencia, Barcelona, Bilbao, and Zaragoza, sharing my volunteer experience, my why for this organization and developing young leaders to take global opportunities to make a positive impact in the world.
Right now I'm traveling to Barcelona, looking for a place to stay for some days.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I like to be hosted with someone who lives in the place I choose as a destination, I see it as an opportunity to enjoy those details that only someone who lives in that place can offer me, share experiences, stories and make friends around the world.

Music, Movies, and Books
My favourite music is rock music, I especially enjoy listening to Argentine rock artists as Gustavo Cerati and el Kuelgue. But I'm also interested in listening to local music. From Spain, I like Sabina, Serrat, Guitarricadelafuente, MODA, Vetusta Morla. I also enjoy more party music like La Rosalia and C Tangana depending on the mood!
One favourite book: the subtle art of not giving a fuck. Movies from Christopher Nolan as Inception, Interstellar but my favourite is definitely Into the Wild.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have been in 14 countries, 4 continents. I knew the wonders of the world like the Iguazu Falls, Machu Pichu and the Taj Mahal. This year I jumped for the first time from a bridge in Seville.
Teach, Learn, Share
I love being connected with people who have different passions, it is the best way to transmit mutually different experiences.

The most valuable thing I have to offer my host is my life story, experiences, a world where adventure is constantly undertaken.
