About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To keep going!

ABOUT ME

I'm very easy going, I can have fun in pretty much any context (perks of being an outgoing reader). I've lived abroad for 2 years on an international college, so I'm used to being on the move and meeting new people.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosted, surf, show around...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Me and my family have hosted and showed people around in Buenos Aires. I was also hosted once, which led me to meet amazing people that I'm still really close with today.

Interests

I study international relations, but to be honest I'm much more interested in literature; I read and write a lot. I also really (REALLY) like music, and I used to play the sax in a band back in Argentina. About sports, I swim often and I used to snowboard.

Oh, and food! I've enjoyed meals as simple as pizza with a level of communion (with the pizza) that I'm quite proud of.

Other than that, getting to know people from very different backgrounds and hearing their stories would definitely count as one of my passions.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Dostoyevsky, Murakami, Salinger, Toole (I never laughed as hard with a book as with A Confederacy of Dunces), Vonnegut, García Márquez, Márai, Zizek...

Music: Pretty much anything. Usually its Jazz or Blues, but right now I'm listening to a lot of Gramatik, Ludovico Einaudi, The Peter Malick Group, Nujabes, Kero One, Groove Collective, Blazo, Natiruts, Jamiroquai, Nicolas Jaar...

Movies: Fight Club, The Assassination of Jessee James by the Coward Robert Ford, There Will be Blood, Zoolander...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hard to say... those moments in which you gain perspective of how awesome the people that you're surrounded with is, and of how lucky you are to be you and to be where you are, are priceless in themselves. I've been lucky to have several of those moments, and I can't wait for my next one.

Also, I once slept of 27 hours straight. Yup, 27. I've been trying to repeat the stunt ever since, but, much as I enjoyed every attempt, I am yet to succeed.

Countries I’ve Lived In

Argentina, France, Ireland, Netherlands, United States
