About Me

I'm 29 years old. I move out of my home to study film in Córdoba Capital. I work in cinema for five years now. I can't imagine a life without movies, music and literature. I really enjoy taking analog photos and write, mostly scripts. I love to share a glass of wine and talk about life or things in general, but I also really love the peace and quiet.
I grew up living close to La Cordillera so I have a deeply connection with nature. Since I was a kid I dream of knowing the northern lights and that's where I'm heading...

That’s what I wrote when I joined Couchsurfing just before traveling for a few months. Now, after knowing this amazing community I want to give back everything I received and start hosting.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe it has a lot of good sides. I travelled with and without CS and definitely traveling with has a special something. For one side, is a different way of getting closer to the city or country you visit. Meeting people who live there, you can get a closer idea of what it is like to live there and visit places unknown by the common tourist and obviously is a really good chance to get a culture exchange. For the other hand you have the chance of meeting amazing people whom you can really establish a profound bound that will endure in time. In my short experience, I honestly can say that this happened to me so I feel very lucky about it...
