Overview
About Me
UPDATE: I AM BACK LIVING IN ARGENTINA BUT I STILL CANNOT HOST ANYONE SINCE I AM LIVING AT MY PARENTS HOUSE AND THERE IS NO MORE SPACE. Hopefully, when I get my own place, I would be able to host. Thank you
CURRENT MISSION
Travel around the world and make new friends.
ABOUT ME
I am a responsible and hardworking person who likes to experience new challenges and learn. That is why I decided to go on an adventure to a foreign country too far from home. Since I arrived in New Zealand, I have had jobs I never had before. I have worked as a kiwifruit picker, grader and packer; also as a goats and calves rearer. I have milked 1000 cows at a 40 herringbone. I have fed pigs and made sausages as well. It was my first time ever doing each job and I found the greatest people in the world that taught me how to do everything. In every job, my bosses and supervisors opened their homes to me and my boyfriend to go and have a beer, watch a game and talk nonstop haha. I am truly happy I have had this experience because I have learnt a lot from these jobs and all the people I have met on the way.
I speak Spanish and English fluently, and went to NZ also to improve my English and learn more about this culture.
Back in Argentina, I was an English teacher and sales assistant at a shop. I lived with my parents and little brothers and I enjoyed spending time teaching them or telling them stories.
Right now, I am travelling around the world. I do not know how many places I am going to be able to visit, but I want to see how far I can travel :)
I am travelling with my boyfriend, we are engaged. He is a lifeguard and professional swimmer.We have been together for 5 years :)
We are both eager to meet new people and learn from different cultures.
That is pretty much who I am and what I have done in my life...but if anyone wants to know more about me, my country, my culture, the places I have travelled, I have absolutely no problem in helping you...
PHILOSOPHY
"Be the change you want to see in the world"
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I found this website by accident. I did not have a place to stay for a night and I read somewhere about couchsurfing.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
At first, I have to admit I was not sure about going to a stranger's house. I had never done something like this before so I was pretty nervous. But then I met such wonderful people that I was amazed! When I go back to my country, I hope I can host some travellers myself.
I only had a problem with a man who never got my email saying that I was not going to stay at his place (because I had already said ''yes'' to somebody else) and unfortunately he did not believe me and left a bad reference. It was a problem with the website. Nevermind, that was the only misunderstanding.
Interests
I love learning languages. I could only learn English and a little bit of Italian, but I would love to learn other languages. Since I was a child, I have always dreamt of living abroad with people of different nationalities sharing our stories.
I am a very quiet person who likes reading.
I love animals, especially cats and dogs.
My boyfriend loves playing sports and listening to music. He would love to learn more about music and maybe learn how to play an instrument. He is a bodyboarder and he would like to learn to surf.
We both love spending time chilling at the beach.

Music, Movies, and Books
I love reading and watching movies.
I like different music styles, but my favourite one is rock n roll. I especially love music from the 70s and 80s.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
-Travelling to New Zealand, Australia, Southeast Asia and Turkey is by far the most exciting thing I have ever done (and I am planning to keep on travelling and collecting good memories).
Teach, Learn, Share
I would like to learn about other cultures, languages, music, sports, skills, jobs, etc. Anything that can help me understand and get to know other people.
I would also love to teach other people about my language and my culture.
