About Me

I'm honest, fun, extroverted, open minded and social. I love my city, my family, my friends and my food! I hang out with friends all the time, sharing some beers and having fun with them. I'm always looking forward meeting new people and learn from their experiences, listen to their stories and helping them out having a great time. I'm always in a good mood and ready to have fun.

I'm studying Communication at UBA.

PHILOSOPHY

I always see the glass half full. I try to live the moment and learn from my mistakes to keep on living and improve my life and the lives of my beloved ones. I usually say "if I'm gonna do it I rather do it right". I'm a very hakuna matata type of person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I enjoy meeting new people, sharing stories and experiences. Also, there's nothing like visiting a place with local people, they know the best ways around and it gives me the chance to meet new people. I enjoy being in both sides, as a visitor and host.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a Zeppelin lover. I also like rock bands like Pearl Jam, Queens of the Stone Age, Jack White, Arctic Monkeys, The Hives, Black Keys, and a big etc. I love jazz, mostly bebop (Thelonious Monk, Ella Fitzgerald, John Coltrane...), soul, funk!!! and the great Frank Sinatra.

I watch lots of movies, new, old, classics. I'm a great movie buff, guilty of charges! My favorite film ever is Casablanca.

I also read a lot, mosty fiction and academic books (about filming, game design, psychology, and others topics I enjoy learning).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling by my own to Brazil. I have stayed at some friends' homes but I traveled all the way by my own, knowing just some words of Portuguese and without a single way to call any of my friends. It was funny trying to talk to people that didn't understand me and finally arriving at the city that I was going to. Five planes and two buses in 12 days, all in Portuguese. I learned a lot about myself and how is it to be in a place that is not home. Get out of the comfort zone! It's really comfy out there too!

Another "amazing thing" that I've done was parachuting in Argentina. I suffer from vertigo so I decided that I had to jump from a high place, parachuting sounded like a good idea, and it was one of the best things I've ever done.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Spanish of course, but most important, how to mingle and survive in Buenos Aires and try to become a true porteño.

What's not to learn...

What's not to share!!

What I Can Share with Hosts

My sense of humor, my curiosity and beers, of course.
