ABOUT ME
It's a hard one :) I guess she (making reference to my best friend as asked) would say I'm a nice and lovable person :P
I can be a little shy at first and that make it seems like I'm serious, but with the proper time I can be really funny to hang out, and sometimes a little sarcastic. I'm also the idealistic type, always dreaming with "the should be" (of course I just finished law school), and according to my best friend (I actually asked her) I can reach any objective if I try to. I think I'm an openminded person, 'cause I really like to know the real places, people and culture when I'm traveling. In general I'm observant and cosiderate.
PHILOSOPHY
everything happens for a reason, so enjoy it!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I just had a meeting once, and the two best couchs ever! If I knew couchsurfing was this amazing I would've have started earlier
Interests
what interest me? basically everything, but in general I love nature, any outdoor activity grab my attention. Back home, I usually go windsurfing (I'm still a begginer)or to the family farm to hang out in nowhere. I like rowing, swiming, horseriding, and sometimes I go waterskiing.
I love history, art,literature, drawing and painting (it's been a while since the last time I did)and listening to music. I enjoy cooking and traveling. I like animals a whole lot (I have 4 german shepperd at home) and I also like trying new things. I enjoy listening and sharing experiences.
I'm 24, so sometimes I like to visit crowded places, hanging out with friends, meeting new people, sharing some mate, drinks and why not, to party if there's a chance :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
this is also a hard one!...if I close my eyes, I'm not really sure why but I can see so clearly this certain moment on Peninsula de Valdez, on the Argentinian Patagonia. I was like 10 years old or something, and I was with my family camping in this deserted area by the sea called Punta Pardelas -It's an amazing place where you have these huge cliffs behind you and an emerald green sea on the other side and everything is covered and made of fossils- I grabed a bike and rode it for a while until all I could see were the stars above me, I just sat there, on the floor with my legs hanging, facing the ocean and I closed my eyes, I felt so little in the universe and a peaceful feeling came across me while listening to the waves, I felt perfectly happy.
I think I've seen lots of amazing places...for instance I had tones of fun during a trip I made with a friend to Hawaii, we arrived really late at nigth and the person who was supposed to pick up us from Kona's airport didn't show up, so we started cheking for accomodation and we couldn't find anything: we had to sleep on the streets! it was an enteresting experience, but I wouldn't do that again. The next day we brought a tent and went around the island by hitchriding and camping. I was awsome, we met so may amazing people there and some crazy ones too!we also got to visit the volcano and to walk for hours on this huge sea of dry lava just to see how the lava went into the ocean, really beautifull.
another good one should be the last summer, when I was traveling with some friends in Mendoza (Argentina)and we were running out of ideas, so we just picked some random route to the south and arrived after a couple hours driving to a really small town called El Sosneado, where talking to locals the told us about an abandoned hotel with thermal waters and and old military refuge where one could spend the nigth...it sounded like and adventure, so we just decided to go there. After a 4 hours driving on first in a rocky small path crossed by small strams we got to the hotel with the last rays of light. It was incredible, there was nothing there but rabbits, rocks and nature in it's pure state. we pickes some random room on the inside (the place has been abandoned for more than 30 years so it has nothing but walls) to protect aourselves from the strong Ande's wind and buit the tent there, I think I've never seen the stars so clearly as that nigth, it felt like we were really really close to the sky itself. The next day we saw how beatifull that place was, and we met a local family of farmers, the older one was the man who found the uruguayan airplain that crashed on the top of that mountain!(the one that inspired the american movie "alive") it was overwhelming..
