CURRENT MISSION

Get to know my(true)self.... γνῶθι σεαυτόν

ABOUT ME

My name is Gaby, and I would like to consider myself a person who is open to meet new people, share experiences, views on life, and visit as many different places as I can!

I can describe myself as a person who treasures friendship and loyalty above everthing else in the world. I think I'm talkative, but also very introspective.

I love autumn and winter very much... I enjoy travelling more than anything else in the world...

I love music, I can't live without listening to music. I love reading, literature from all over the world, or about art, symbology, mythology or history, fav subjects... Recently I'm very interested in Carl Gustav Jung's works....

I enjoy very much spending time with my friends, to laugh about anything and everything, just have a nice chat or watch a nice movie together...

I love walking the city around, if by night, even better... I love to have a coffee in a bar sitting by a window when it's raining.... and watch the people go by...

I love art. I love going to the theatre. I adore horseriding and running... I adore animals... I love the peace and quiet of countryside, but at the same time enjoy the fun of going out with my friends in the city....

Most of everything, I love and enjoy life.

PHILOSOPHY

γνῶθι σεαυτόν

The wise man rules his stars, the fool is ruled by them

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travel as much as I can... and I think that the best way to travel is when you meet locals, and why not, make new friends! Also, I receive couchsurfers in my house, for I think that travelling should be possible for everyone, and I understand that spending money in hostels etc makes things worst for a non-rich person who's travelling.... but most, because meeting new people is like travelling without moving! And I know every visitor brings a new perspective on life, and broaden my points of view... So, I surf and offer couchs, and that has been great so far :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met awesome people not only visiting and travelling but also receiving new comers in my place in Buenos Aires... some of them are now good friends :)
