About Me

Argentinian, Artist, student, housesitter and nomad making a living in Sydney. I love animals, art, and nature... If you got a creative side, I'd love to know about it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I work as a freelance illustrator/ silversmith and my situation is financially tough- I can't afford a rent, but I study in Sydney. I survive as a housesitter, but I don't get paid for it, and I don't always have a place to sleep in the city...

I'm also seeking new experiences, hoping to meet openminded people, seeking to learn more about this culture - this happened when I became a housesitter, now I'm hoping to expand as a couchsurfer!

I would really want to finish my course one day, get a job, save, travel and host other travelers too. It seems like a far away dream for now- could you help me out?

Music, Movies, and Books

Jurassic Park, Carbon Based Lifeforms, Terry Pratchett and Boris Vian... and a lot more. Currently reading Jung's autobiography, and looking forward to start Camille Paglia's 'Glittering Images' which I have in my suitcase.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived two years as a nomad in Sydney, doing housesitting. I've met some amazing people - and pets- that way.

My illustrations were published in a book about edible insects of the world. (So I can recommend you which ones to try- also keen to know if you've tried any)

Collaborated in several synaesthesia research studies as a test subject. Never heard about synaesthesia? Well, ask me about it!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Spanish, my native language- or drawing, my other native language.
Maybe drink some mate? Have meaningful conversations?

I want to learn about other people's experiences, and experience new things myself.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food, art, good conversation
