About Me

Hi everyone! I'm an argentine girl living in Madrid, finishing a bachelor's degree on Legal Translation of English & German and working as a freelance translator and Pilates instructor.
I was raised in a humble environment with animals and growing our own veggies, and I guess that made my mind quite down to earth and gave me a nice hospitality sense –I would never let you be in need of anything if I can provide it :-)

I could say I'm a very laid back person, I enjoy quietness in my daily life but I love a good party during the weekend.

I'm an agnostic, although I'm interested in different mindsets,
as well as different cultures, and I'm respecful to all of them.
I look girly and I joke like a guy ;D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it's a great idea to help travellers, meet new people and listen to their stories!
There's only so much you can learn from people, it's amazing!
