About Me

🇦🇷
Naci en la ciudad de Viedma, Rio Negro. A los 16 años hice un intercambio durante el secundario en Austria y al finalizar la escuela me fui a vivir a Buenos Aires para estudiar Economía.
Finalizada la carrera me fui a hacer la experiencia de Work and Holiday en Australia y posteriormente a Barcelona a hacer un posgrado.
Actualmente vivo en Viedma, milito la agroecologia, como estilo de vida y de consumo.
Amo viajar, y encontrar la diversidad cultural.
Somos distintos, y ahí esta la riqueza del ser humano.

🇺🇸
I was born in Viedma, in the argentianian Patagonia.
When I was 16 yo I went to Austria on a scholarship, where I stayed with a local family and attended the school during 1 year.
When I was 18 yo I went to buenos Aires to start my studies. During the 5 years that I studied, I travelled to Bolivia, Peru, Ururguay and Ecuador.
After finishing my studys I lived in Australia for a year and in Barcelona for another year.
Now I am back in my country trying to develop my career.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

🇦🇷
Estoy en CS porque me entusiasma conocer gente local y viajeros.
Me gusta hacer la diferencia entre hacer turismo y viajar, mientras la primera implica conocer lugares, viajar, va más allá, y tiene que ver con involucrarse en la cultura que se explora.

🇺🇸
Because I love meeting people in the places I travel and be the home for the ones that travel.
I belive in the difference between travel and tourism, I think the word travel involves not only know places and histories, if not meet local people and listen the histories from them.
