About Me

I'm a software engineer from Buenos Aires, I love to travel and knowing other cultures and places. Since I like adventures, I decided to work and travel for a year over Europe. So I'll be around from June 2018 to.. who knows, specially around France.

I can enjoy a good conversation or partying with the same enthusiasm. In Buenos Aires I used to dance tango and also a bit of Lindy hop. I enjoy cooking with other people and sharing recipes, and this means I really love food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it's an incredible exchange you make. First of all, you put your trust in the other, and that's something hard for some. That first step it's important because if in the other side you receive the same trust, nothing can be wrong. I like to travel with my modest budget and I like to host and show my city when I'm town.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quit my job to travel

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share travel stories, for example how I lost my phone many times and found it again allways. Since I like t cook, I think it's nice to have a meal together and share tips. I also like language exchanges, I'd like to improve my French, but also I'd like to start speaking portuguese and italian.
Life is learning, so basically to know other people, different from us, it's itself a way of learning.
