Hi, everyone!! I created a CS profile because I think that the best way to really understand a local culture and learn more about it is by hanging out with locals. I love meeting people from all over the world and talk about anything and everything, so it would be great to go for a walk around town, have a coffee, beer, etc. (I work remotely so my schedule is pretty flexible when I'm travelling). I'm originally from Mendoza (a province in western Argentina).

PS: I speak Spanish (native), e
English (fluent at native level), and am at the moment learning french.

¡Hola a todos! Creé un perfil en CS porque voy a empezar a viajar más desde ahora y personalmente creo, como asumo también la mayoría de esta comunidad , que la mejor manera de conocer una cultura extranjera es conociendo personas que viven o han experimentado dichas culturas. Me encanta conocer gente de todo el mundo, y conversar sobre cualquier tema: música, cine, literatura, política, deportes, videojuegos, historia, ciencias, filosofía, cultura general. Soy de Mendoza (una provincia que está al oeste de Argentina).
PS Hablo español (nativo), inglés (fluido a nivel nativo), y estoy aprendiendo francés.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make new friends, to understand foreign cultures better, to live new experiences.

Para hacer nuevos amigos, para entender mejor culturas extranjeras desde otro punto de vista, para vivir nuevas experiencias.

Interests
