I was born in Córdoba, Argentina, and I am living in Puerto Madryn since 2015.

I love the traveling lifestyle, being in movement, even at home, sharing with travelers makes me feel that I am in movement too. The chance of living situations randomly when I am traveling or even at home, offer me the opportunity to know every moment needs to be lived fully. To feel the uncertainty, the amazement, the newness, the feeling of a constant challenge. All that had the potential to make me an open-minded and easy-going person. I like share time with new people, people that may become friends later. I like funny people, and to laugh and laugh so much with them!

But most of all, I like to learn from the differences. Every person is a world and this is not only a "cliché". It is so true, and different opinions and lifestyles are very interesting to me. I also like the unpredictable, the unknown, the hazards of life itself. Like nature, always unpredictable. I love to be and do outdoor activities, especially those things related to nature and cultural diversity. Now, I have more time to practice sports and I love the summer.

Life is already a journey so let's travel more!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am in CS because I believe that the best way to get to know places and towns within a country is through direct contact with local/native people. That is why for learning and to marvel myself I need to connect with what really belongs to that place. For me, CS is not only a matter of saving money during your trip but also wins moments of happiness, is the manner of share your stories and listen to it from the others, is the chance of sharing advice, help, laughs, to feel and be amazed!

Initially, my trips were framed within the modality of "scientific tourism" due to my profession, but while I was an undergraduate student and even more after, I traveled by myself ("solo") several times, in a backpacking style and through several months and without dates or return tickets. Numerous people lodged me through before I met CS and even more after starting using CS. I was hosted in different places in many countries in Latin America! To all of them, I am immensely grateful!
