About Me

ABOUT ME
Simple, I like to enjoy my friends and family. I am in love with the world, something that makes me think all the time about what my next destination will be. Some time ago I found a hobby that I am more passionate about every day: photography. I am fascinated by portraying my travels.
An ideal state: a summer night, in company, sharing anecdotes and some ice cold beer

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Tour guide for my city! Sharing some time on the beach in Mar del Plata, drinking mate (typical drink, eating some barbecue with my family) I still can't stay because my apartment is very small. I hope in a short time to be able to host people

Music, Movies, and Books

International: The beatles, Bob marley, and Radiohead as main exponents
I really like Argentine National rock
But I also have a fairly Latin American repertoire. I listen to Andean flocklore, Colombian cumbia, Brazilian music, tango, lots of Argentine music. I like percussion, all the bongo, the guitar ... well, I love music

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’ve been lucky to do some pretty amazing things while traveling over the years.
One of the most memorable was sleeping at the top of Acatenango Volcano in Guatemala and watching Volcán de Fuego erupt right in front of me during the night. I also spent a couple of weeks living in a Shaolin temple in China, learning Kung Fu and experiencing a completely different lifestyle.
I lived for seven months in a van in Australia, which was one of the best ways to feel truly free. I’ve also traveled around Japan and New Zealand by motorhome, taking my time and enjoying the journey.
More recently, I completed the Annapurna trek in Nepal, reaching 5,500 meters , tough but absolutely worth it.

All these experiences are a big part of why I love traveling and meeting people along the way.
