I’m a 23-year-old, Argentinean student. I live near La Plata, in the province of Buenos Aires. I am currently an exchange student in Lille, a city in Northern France. So far, I haven’t traveled as much as I would have liked to, which is why I want to catch up! I want to discover different places and cultures, learn what the world looks like from other points of view, other angles, contrast that with the way I am used to seeing it, and in turn I hope to better comprehend my own culture and place it in context in the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I think it’s a different way of traveling that focuses more on experiencing a new culture and really getting to know the locals rather than the typical tourist experience consisting mostly of history and geography.

Interests

My Interests
My two main interests are science and music.
I’m close to completing my degree in engineering, I enjoy science and I aspire to use it to make the world a better place. Also, I’ve loved music for as long as I can remember (all kinds of music). I’ve been playing the guitar ever since I was a kid and I would like to learn top lay as many instruments as I can.
I also like to watch movies and series, cooking, watching and playing almost all sports, history and politics.

That’s what life’s about.
