ABOUT ME

I used to work in an office in Buenos Aires. Seven years for the same company. Good position, good salary. Then one day I woke up and realised I was bored with my life. Every day was the same. I wasn't learning anything new. Needed a change, a really drastic one. So I packed my bag and flew to China. That was in 2013 and have been travelling ever since.
I think I'm the kind of person who enjoys being challenged. I like to wake up knowing that every day is different. I got to know the most interesting, awkward, funny and smart people during my travels. Those people helped me grow up and discover new ways of living.
I try to learn new things everywhere I go. I love laughing, hiking, hugging, watching movies, the sound of the rain, flowers, good conversations around what we call Mate (herbal tea). I adore sunrises and sunsets. Camping under a sky full of stars. I prefer winter over summer, mountains over beaches, sweet over salty.
I'm vegetarian. Non smoker.

PHILOSOPHY

"Why not?"
"Life begins at the end of your comfort zone"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN CS

Although I have this account for many years, I started looking for CS a few months ago. I enjoy meeting new people and who better than a local to show you around...

Interests

Movies, trekking, quality times with friends. Nature. Organic produced food. Reading books of real events or stories. Music, dancing. Extreme sports (like skydiving, bungee jumping, etc) . Philosophy. Traveling. I'm into poetry this days and this is one about travelling that I really like:

Viajar es marcharse de casa,
es dejar los amigos
es intentar volar
volar conociendo otras ramas
recorriendo caminos
es intentar cambiar.

Viajar es vestirse de loco
es decir “no me importa”
es querer regresar.
Regresar valorando lo poco
saboreando una copa,
es desear empezar.

Viajar es sentirse poeta,
es escribir una carta,
es querer abrazar.
Abrazar al llegar a una puerta
añorando la calma
es dejarse besar.

Viajar es volverse mundano
es conocer otra gente
es volver a empezar.
Empezar extendiendo la mano,
aprendiendo del fuerte,
es sentir soledad.

Viajar es marcharse de casa,
es vestirse de loco
diciendo todo y nada con una postal,
Es dormir en otra cama,
sentir que el tiempo es corto,
viajar es regresar.
