My name is Hernán. I live in an apartment in Flores, Buenos Aires (which is a 20-minute subway ride from Plaza de Mayo). I teach History in high school and English in a school for adults in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I studied Political Science. Teaching and traveling are two of my greatest passions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When it comes to visiting a new country, I believe that Couchsurfing provides the opportunity of meeting new people, as well as gaining insight on the local culture.

A la hora de viajar y conocer un nuevo país, considero que Couchsurfing te da la oportunidad de conocer gente nueva, como también de conocer y comprender culturas distintas.
