About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm from Buenos Aires, I have studied cinema and now I'm working as a film editor. I have travelled to many places around the world working for a film company.

I think i'm ironic, observer, respectful about ideas. I really like to talk, about life, about politics, about experiences. I don't like drugs, I drink sometimes but not looking for excess.

When I travel I prefer visit the places with a iconoclastic view, I mean, visit the obbligated/touritisc places its okey, but I'm looking for something else, something more real an sincere about the places and the people.
I'm not really a nightlife person, or at least of traditional clubs; so I prefer alternative circles, coffee places, or cultural centres.

I like eat cakes, delicatessen and sweet thing of all kinds. Also pastas and seafood. Salads. I'm not a good cooker but i'm interested to learn.
About the language, english it's the most fluid way to talk with other people.
I will fill the rest of the info in my profile, thanks for read this!

PHILOSOPHY

Listen when people is talking.
I also discover something a time ago> If you are honest with the people, the people is honest with you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm a begginer here, a lot of my friends are using CS with success and now I want to try it. Maybe for knowing better the places before to go visit them, and also to meet people and exchange ideas and experiences.

Interests

I draw and paint a lot, is not a hobbie (hate that word) but at the moment is something out of my job that I really love to do.
Big fan of Lucian Freud, Ariel mlynarcewicz, Egon Schiele, Andres Zerneri, Francis Bacon, Gustav Klimt. I have visited in Paris an awesome exhibition retrospective of Art Speiegelman, with original draws of MAUS. Really love his work.

Also I participate in my city in political activities, mostly leftwing. I'm really 'open mind' to listen ideas and participate in discussions. I think this is important to put it here, could be nice also have a feedback about political experiences in other places.
