Hey!
My name is Carla and the past couple of years I traveled *a lot* :P I'm from Argentina, but I'm living in Sweden now. I've recently finished a masters on Human-Computer Interaction and now I'm working on my own project.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best from my last two years studying in an international masters program was actually meeting people from EVERYWHERE. So I'm open to offer part of that experience to others, and keep knowing about other cultures at the same time :)

Right now I'm planning my first trip to Japan, and as I'm a big fan of the japanese culture I'd like to experience the city from the eyes of a local. I'd love to stay over at someone's place (or maybe several hosts during the whole trip!) to really "absorbe" the city and practice japanese :) And it'd be great if I make some friends and keep in touch later.

Interests

This list will look kinda random, but... ok, let's start:

Entrepreneurship
Cats
Baking
Programming
Singing
Anime
International food
Fashion shopping
User interface design & usability (web, mobile, physical interaction, etc).
Traveling
Musicals

One of my favorite things about traveling is going to supermarkets of cities I don't know :$ I could spend ours inside a supermarket XD

Oh, and I can't watch this video without laughing, I can't believe they talk about an "argentine peso" in a japanese anime: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLWTPF7DFfc

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I programmed a mobile app that lets you vote for the songs you want a DJ to play at a party or nightclub: jukeboss.eu. It started as a course project during my masters, but now it's turning into a real business ^^

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to teach about argentinian culture. I think that for people learning spanish, they could find my accent or "slang" quite interesting. Sharing argentinian "cuisine" is also nice... but I'm not a chef! All I can guarantee is some food made with love :P

I'd love to practice the languages I'm learning (japanese, french, italian) while also sharing our culture.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hopefully, some sweets/food and wine from where I come from ;)
