About Me

I’m a working single mom and I'm not hosting people at the moment.
However I'm willing to help travellers with info and of course meet up. I love meeting people from all over the world and sharing our experiences. Have a good laugh over a drink

ABOUT ME

What you get is what you see. I'm transparent, spontaneous, positive, fun, friendly, and outgoing.
I'm a makeup artist Instagram profile @brendaymakeup and have been doing it for almost 15 years now.
I've done makeup for TV shows , I do makeup for photoshoots I work with photographers, social events and have quite a good experience on that area. Also do makeup up to brides and social events as well.
Im a spiritual person, I’m open to learn about myself more and more every day. I accept experiences as they present themselves to me, and try to understand a bit more about me and the world. I've come to understand that as Osho says, THE NEGATIVE IS ONLY A PREPARATION FOR THE POSITIVE :) and that helps me a lot to move on and adapt to an always-changing world

PHILOSOPHY
I want to live my life guided by my instinct. I don't want to leave any goal or dream unresolved. You only live ONCE!! Even if you reencarnate, this life as yourself is the one you get. So better play your cards right.

I'm open minded. I enjoy trying new things, and I'm always up for a good laugh. I’m a good listener as well.
I love to travel. I went on a 3 month alone trip to Europe as a local doing Couchsurfing and REALLY It was the best experience of my life. I got and still keep in touch with people and cultures from all over the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted people, and I've been hosted as well. I travelled 3 months across Europe in 2013, my experience WAS AWESOME
I consider the CS project to be the best option nowadays. It allows you to stay in a safety place and at the same time to be more informed about local places for sightseeing.
Gives you the very REAL, LOCAL experience of culture, not the fake vague hotel experience most people would have.
I've been a host just a few times now, I think as a host you have to make people feel safe and mostly comfortable. I've surfed couches and my experience was very very positive every single time. Not a single inconvinient. All good and interesting people, with whom I still get in touch with.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far its been all good and positive experiences. I like showing people around Buenos Aires. And showing them our beautiful rare and rich culture. I enjoy making travelers feel full argentinian for a moment. Drinking mate eating classic argentina porteño food. I also like showing them around my neighborhood which isn't touristic but is safe and also beautiful, so they get to see the real thing. Local stuff. I’m also an armenian descendant so I try to mix my argentinian culture with that.

Interests

People, Life stories, Spirituallity, walking, sightseeing, appreciating nature, being amazed by life in every way possible. Laughing A LOT... Enjoy the moment as it is. Share experiences and connect more
