About Me

Hoi there!

I am a Chemical Engineer form ITBA university, Argentina, and currently working as a process engineer for the New Energies division of an energy company in the Netherlands. I enjoy life abroad and would like to help fellow travelers when possible (please, read my housing details).

I enjoy playing tennis and golf. I am also very sporty and workout almost every day at home. So if I cook for you, it will probably be something healthy ;) except if it is dessert... my weakness is sugar, hehe.

My favorite places to go when on vacation are multiple day hikes in the mountains, visiting natural places and maybe small towns. I tend to dislike big cities and lots of noise.

I also play the flute and like to sing.

Finally, I enjoy nice, personalized requests ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy very much meeting new people and making new friends, learning different cultures. I did a long bicycle tour in Europe and discovered how nice it is to be hosted by locals and to have a place to stay. I want to give back what I received

Interests

  • hiking
  • golf
  • environmentalism

Music, Movies, and Books

I like Celtic and Irish music, as well as power and folk metal, and instrumental Jazz
Favourite books are fantastic, medieval age, especially The Wheel of Time, Inheritance Cycle, and Kingkiller Chronicle. Harry Potter fan as well.
I also enjoy Disney animated films, as well as Marvel action films.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Self-organized 2265km bicycle tour from Amsterdam to Vienna during August and September 2018 visiting friends, and meeting new people from CouchSurfing and WarmShowers.

Exchange semester in Lund University in Sweden. Outstanding and awesome experience!! Met many people, made many friends, and traveled a lot

Watched the northern lights from a frozen lake in Jokkmokk, northern Sweden

Volunteered for the exchange program at my university right after returning from the exchange, and couldn't stop meeting amazing people from all over the world.

Played golf at The Old Course at St. Andrews Links, and shot a 78 in windy, rainy conditions
