CURRENT MISSION

I want to travel to countries and meet the people, avoid hostels as I am not of that age/emoitionality category

ABOUT ME

I am an Argentinean citizen but raised on the island of Aruba, off the coast of Venezuela and far from from Buenos Aires. I speak 4-5 languages: English, Spanish, Dutch, Papiamento Creole, French. My French is the less fluent. I am a writer and visual arist and especially like to meet artists or people with a lot of background in or love for the arts.

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy is probably Pythagorean. Philosophy is always impersonal (but that is not pejorative.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
