About Me

Let's see, what can I say about me?
I'm an argentinian girl who has a small but adorable family: one younger brother, parents, a grandmother, and a lovely fat cat (yes, she's part of the family!). I have studied Literature and linguistics and i'm currently doing an exchange in Germany (I always wanted to learn this language so i guess i'm in the right place!).
I'm a music fan: I studied the flute when I was younger and since a couple of years I'm singing and playing in jazz groups. My last and more important project is called "Kernel". We played our compositions and some arrangements of Jazz Standards. And I listen to music all the time... I love to hear and know new stuff!
I love art, literature, travelling, learning languages and new cultures, meeting new people, cooking (and eating!), animals, doing some sport...
I reaaly enjoy silence and i'm not very good at "small-talks" haha! but If I get along with someone, I love to spend hours talking!!! Ah, yes, and sometimes I have some troubles with being synthetic...

One perfect day/night out? Having a good meal with good wine/beer while having an endless talk with good friends, with some great music in the background. And then a concert!

What else? No idea. You're free to ask.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I've said, I love meeting new places, new cultures, new people. And Couchsurfing is a perfect medium to achive this, since it allows to get an impression, even if too short, of the "real life style" of someone of the place you are visiting. There's no better "tourist guide/advisor" than a local... Ok, maybe it sound's idealistic, but I really beleive it's like this!

Ps.unfortunatly I can't host people now cause I live in a student building and I'm not allowed to do it... But when I'll be back home this will change!

Interests

Music addict. Listening to music (live, recorded), making music.
I also love art, films, books, travelling, learning languages, meeting new people and cultures, cooking, talking about probably useless things (like what's the use of art? what is art? etc., etc...)...
Idem: better to continue the chat in person, isn't it?

Music, Movies, and Books

As I've said, i'm a music fan, so I listen to lots of music. Although right now maybe is Jazz -mostly European, and more specifically, from scandinavian countries- the genre that it's on my playlist most of the time. But I also like blues, indie, (electronic) pop, rock, folk, etc (If we meet, i'll tell/show you. And I'll be really happy if you show me your music too!). Actually, it's not the genre that matters, but the "quality". If I like it, I put "play".
Books? My favourite authors are from my country: Borges, Saer, Di Benedetto, Urondo, but of course, I read other things too! If it's ok for you, maybe we can continue the list with a bottle of wine?
Films? I really enjoy european cinema, mostly french and german (but I'm open to everything! For instance, a couple of months ago I watched a polish movie, "Ida",that blow off my head!). Genre: most of the times dramas, I won't lie...
