About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be able to raise only one eyebrow at a time (the left one poses problems..)

ABOUT ME

I'm an Argentinian working as a researcher on computer science at the university (oh my god, he's a geek!). I grew up in Buenos Aires, (so if you want to know something about it, or if you're looking for hosting there don't hesitate to ask me!). I just moved to Bordeaux, a city I already love. I want to discover the city and especially make new friends! So I'm always willing to go out and do something.

I love pique-niques with wine and cheese and all kind of stuff (i'm starting to get hungry), and after that, a digestive mate or an exotic tea, with cookies.

I also like the smell of a just-extinguished match.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy life, don't engage for more than 10 minutes in something you don't like (except, perhaps, the dentist...), be humble, respect others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can happily offer you a drink or to host you, if I'm not with too much work or visits. And, although I'm no expert, I can show you around the city any day! I live in a quite centric spot, so it's easy to come to my place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've always hosted tons of friends and acquiantances (especially while being in Paris).

Interests

* travel, travel, travel!
* wandering the streets and getting lost in an unknown city
* get to know the people/culture/history of the places I go
* photography (both take and see photos)
* doing origami crap (i learn, then i forget, then i learn..)
* reading random wikipedia pages
* listening to music. (In a totally random order: radiohead, massive attack, café tacuba, joplin, bowie, many more..). Also, listening to radio FIP (the best in the world!)

Music, Movies, and Books

I like movies. I'm very curious, so I can lose myself reading anything from astrophysics to the way a refrigerator works. So if you are an astrophisitian or a fridge repair man, talk to me!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

participating in CS is among the most amazing things i've done for sure...

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll teach everything I know and I'll learn everything I don't (for example, that strange language you speak, or how to make that exotic food you eat..).

(...then I'll forget it, and you'll have to re-explain it to me like you would do to a 5 years old child)
