I’m Hernán, a 23 years old boy from Argentina. Im finishing my grade on political science/international relations at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA). I work as an advisor in the Government of Buenos Aires and as a content manager at an NGO that fights poverty in Argentina.
I love sports (amateur football player and gym enthusiast), books, photography, music (I’m a drummer), partying, cooking and watching movies.
As a traveler, i love visiting new places and immersing myself into local culture. By staying at a local’s home, i’d love to learn about their ways of living, customs and traditions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As i told on my Bio, i love visiting new places and immersing myself into local culture. I think that staying at a local’s place is the best way to do it, since you can learn about their daily life, customs and traditions.
My philosophy: “Today you, tomorrow me”
I also understand that there are a lot of travellers with a tight budget whose only possibility to keep exploring the world is by staying at someone else’s place, that’s why i accept guests at my home. And anyway, it’s funny to have someone taking me out of my routine.

My favourite book is The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco, and i also love reading books about history and politics.

My favourite movie producers are: Tarantino, Scorsese, Nolan, Woody Allen and the Coen Brothers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I cooked Carbonara to an Italian and he congratulated me. I also spent the night in the middle of the freezing Andes mountains.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my knowledge about argentine history, politics and culture. Also, as a music lover i know a lot about it.
My “favourite” period in history is the WWI, interwar and WW2 period. So i’d love to teach and learn about it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’m a very talkative person, so whoever lodges me, will have someone who will be happy to ask and learn about their life, and share good moments with.
I really like cooking so i can prepare argentine traditional meals for you to try.
