About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel as much as I can while being abroad. Do everything I can while still young

ABOUT ME

I'm from Argentina and came to Nagano as a trainee for a couple of months. Time is passing by really fast so I'm trying to travel as much as I can while I'm in here. I also lived in France when I was a student. I lived more than 2 years in La Rochelle and then 6 more months doing my internship in Paris. I love travelling and meeting new people and cultures. Sports and music is also a thing I really enjoy doing.

I can teach some of the languages I know, guitar/ukelele for beginners and maybe some weird (and interesting) science facts that randomly come to my mind.
I am really curious about almost everything and tend to ask 'why' a lot, but I generally stop at the second 'why' to avoid annoying people.
