CURRENT MISSION

Live?
I am moving temporarily to Europe to work as a Trip Leader in hiking and biking trips.

ABOUT ME

I think I am a man who is still looking for a change in his life... or maybe "a change" is not the phrase... I would say that I am looking for the best, happiest and the most fun way to live. I lived all my life in Buenos Aires, Argentina, but for the last years I've been traveling more than ever, around South America first, and going around the world for a year later (www.expedicionvaleriano.blogspot.com); an amazing experience that I will never forget.
I am a kind, friendly, fun and sincere person (at least that is what I think), looking for new experiences, and new friends all around the globe. At this moment, after finishing my studies in Finland, working in Lapland as Wilderness Guide for 2 seasons and guiding in Barcelona for a year, I moved back to Argentina where I lived and worked in Patagonia for the last 5 years and guided trips around South America and Europe for the last seasons. I work as a Mountain Guide, and that's the life I love!
Hello CS!!

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy involves enjoying life, meeting people, being positive and learning that every day, is the best day ever!! I try to see myself in a constant growth and live life as simply as possible.
I think nature as the ruler of everything, so being respectful to it and learnin to understand it is one main goal.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Nowadays I'm moving a lot and not very often at home so without a place where to host people but I will let you know when I have a place where surfers can stay!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed in Russia, China, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Thailand Singapore, Spain, Italy and Finland, meeting always amazing people and making my trips more interesting. I visited places that if it wasn't for CS, I would have never visited.

Interests

Relationships are the best things that exist; but be careful, they can be the worst as well. I am interested in spending time with friends, and trying to know as many people as I can. Sometimes I am a bit shy and don't particularly enjoy big groups. I love learning things from other people and being outdoor, hiking, climbing, birdwatching or doing any sport in contact with nature. And that last... nature... is one of my best interests. I like climbing, paddling and extreme sports as well. Ahhhh... and I cannot forget food!! That is a real interest!!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love the cinema, theater and reading. Music is other of my passions; I play the drums, percussion, and a little bit the guitar. I used to play the drums and percussion in a band that plays rock, reggae and ska.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After traveling throughout South America, I made my round the world trip with my girlfriend for a year. All the things that I lived there were amazing and impossible to explain in a few words. Just travel, experience life, and experience people!!

Teach, Learn, Share

Any kind of people but arrogant, liers, negative and what in Spanish I would say "falsos", "fake" people...
