ABOUT ME
I have been living by my own since I was 17 years old.
Meeting people from other cultures is one of the things I enjoy the most, listening to travelers have made me feel closer to parts of the world I want to go to.
PHILOSOPHY
Ser feliz con poco, y con mucho también.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I started hosting travelers with my best friend when we were renting a big room in the financial district of Panama. I built some very good friendships, then one day I said: "What if I go to Argentina where most of my CS friends are?". So here I am now, studying what I love, and being happy.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have been member of HospitalityClub.org the last 4 years, and had lots of very good experiences with more than 40 guests since 2007. Respect, honesty, tolerance and hospitality are my biggest learnings.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I made a coverage which was broadcasted two times on national television.
I went to Bocas del Toro (Caribbean in Panama) when I was a minor just with $2 USD and spent one week there, few years later I moved to Buenos Aires with U$300 and here I am!
Hace poco fui a Marruecos y fue un viaje muy inspirador, ahora sólo pienso en viajar.
Teach, Learn, Share
I dance ! dance!
I know how to do Macrame, a technique to make bracelets very popular between mochileros/hippies (?)
In Panama City people don't use directions such as north, south, numbers or street names; so be prepared to get lost.
