About Me

Let's see… I'm new to couch surfing as you can probably tell. I'm a designer and a teacher and I like to code from time to time. But above all, I'm a curious person who likes learning about a whooooole bunch of new stuff all the time.

In person, I should warn in advance, I have two faces: when in a boring environment I go to my own place mentally and be really introverted and shy. However, I can't get enough good conversations and laughs when people turn out to be interesting. I tend to rely on irony for humor.

There's more, but I can't think of anything else right now :p

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get to know the world and lots of interesting people.

Interests

Design and art. Not in the crappy lifestyle magazine way (hate that crap) but in the real «let's create something amazing way»
Sports in general, I'm a huge reject from every sport but I still enjoy playing and watching.
Live music, also a bass player reject jejeje. I've found that even if I don't listen to a record of some style, I can really enjoy it when listening to it live. Modern Tango, classical and percussion-based styles are good examples.

Music, Movies, and Books

Jamiroquai, Soda Stereo, Gorillaz, Gustavo Cerati, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, U2, Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk, Fabulosos Cadillacs… you'll normally find me listening to that, but I enjoy many other music styles. Favorite record and personal recommendation for any moment: Fuerza Natural by Gustavo Cerati (keep your ears open for the Fleet Foxes reference in one of the songs, that's a really good one)

Grew up watching Back to the Future, my favorite by far. Star Wars (barring episodes I-II). On the serious side, The Shawshank Redemption, on the goofy side, how awesome was Deadpool, right?

Haven't been much of a reader for most of my life (sucks, I know) I'm on a catching-up-with-the-classics period. *Huge* lover of Cortázar and Jules Verne, but I know I have so much to discover yet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Biking through Central Park
Visiting an observatory literally in the middle of the Andes
Mountain driving!

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn as much about all the cultures of the world as much as I can, and I can share mine with anyone.

As a side goal, I want to learn to speak German properly.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Nice stories, a good pair of ears, and if you want to great walking companionship.

I'm capable of enjoying places either with company or by myself.
I never enjoyed clubbing, so I will never bother you on insane hours.

Countries I’ve Visited

Bolivia, Chile, United States, Uruguay

Countries I’ve Lived In

Argentina
