About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Stuff my eyes with wonder

ABOUT ME

A happy nihilist, a frustrated writer, an unconditional dancer, an experimental cook, a pragmatic tree-huger, a timemaniac, a confused world-trotter with a chronic tendency to ask hard questions.

PHILOSOPHY

Wake up and go to bed with a smile + Remind myself everyday to remain a human being vs. a human doing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been living, working and travelling around since I was 16 and since I started couchsurfing in Argentina in 2012, I feel that home is wherever people make you feel welcomed and at ease.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hitch-hiked across Europe, USA, Latin America and South East Asia stayed with a lot of different couchsurfers. Each of them amazingly interesting and kind to let me peak into their own universes. In Buenos Aires and in Berlin (where I was new to the cities), the couchsrufing groups became my best sources of fun, great discussions and suggestions to feel more than a transient inhabitant of the city.

Interests

1) Dance, dance, dance! Seriously anything, anytime, anywhere. Recently I also found out that
2) cooking is so much fun, especially combined with dancing in the kitchen to some old school rock and roll.
3) Urban Exploration: eclectic bars, literary cafes, unusual corners, dumpster diving...
4) Travelling without a plan
5) Campervan Life
6) Rock Climbing and Pole Dancing
