Hi, I'm Flor, from Buenos Aires. I'm a lifeguard and like adventures :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My boyfriend and I lived and travelled around Israel in 2011 and that's when we heard about Couchsurfing. Then we created our profile (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/florypablo) and got to know amazing people and had great experiences.
Now I'm travelling again and I'd love to meet local people and share goods moments!

Interests

I've practised capoeira for the last two years and completely LOVE it...
Another passion is the sea... last year i did a helmsperson course and was able to sail for the first time. One day i'd like to do a big trip across the sea!
What else? I lile sports, walking around, reading... I like drinking "mate" (typical argentinean tea) while I'm watching the sunset.
I don't like the typical city lifestyle, I prefer life in small villages and closer to nature.

"Inventamos una montaña de consumo superfluo, y hay que tirar y vivir comprando y tirando. Y lo que estamos gastando es tiempo de vida, porque cuando yo compro algo, o tú, no lo compras con plata, lo compras con el tiempo de vida que tuviste que gastar para tener esa plata. Pero con esta diferencia: la única cosa que no se puede comprar es la vida. La vida se gasta. Y es miserable gastar la vida para perder libertad" (Pepe Mujica)

Music, Movies, and Books

argentinean rock and international rock, reggae, some cumbia and fun latin music.
Jorge Amado, Garcia Marquez, Brave New World, Borges, Ray Bradbury and so on! Last book I read was "Hasta donde me lleve el viento", the diary of an Uruguayan solo sailor around the world :)
I like good Argentinian movies like "9 reinas", "Relatos salvajes", "Kamtchatka"... and international movies too

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My boyfriend and I once got lost with some other friends in the desert, in Israel. It was the most amazing experience!!!! We had no clue of how it would turn out and each person reacted in a different way: with panic, euphoria, going crazy....
I learnt a lot from that experience! And I love the adrenaline you feel in these kind of moments!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories and I'm a good listener, specially when the topic is travelling! I'm a basic cook but i can do that too!
Also i'm travelling with "mate", so i can show you how to do it and you can try!
