About Me

I'm a rather quiet person, with diverse interests. I try to keep myself socially and politically involved. I love going to small concerts of local bands (whatever the city), enjoy the music and drink a beer. The folker(?) the music, the better. I have to be constantly online because of work, so I really enjoy getaways into nature to disconnect.

Professionally, I'm an Electronics Engineer turned into a software developer. I also teach programming-related subjects at my local Uni.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started with Couchsurfing ~5 years ago when I was living abroad in Germany. I had a couple of awesome experiences and I'm looking for some more :).

Interests

I enjoy reading, listening to music, having meaningful conversations while having a beer and playing games. Almost any kind of game. I also like travelling, strolling aimlessly in cities I don't know, and wasting time in general.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived a year abroad, leaving everything on stand-by for a while. I believe that was the biggest decision I've made and I would do it again :D

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always willing to help with Spanish, or English. And I really need to improve my German...
I'll always be carrying my Mate-kit around (it's a typical Argentinian drink) so if you want to try it just let me know!

What I Can Share with Hosts

As I said before, mate will always be available. A good chat. Some healthy competition in a game of your choice. Can also show and share with you some Latin American music, or any of the music that you can find interesting in my phone :D.
