About Me

I'm an easy-going person, open-minded and a very positive person. I like to learn something new every day, which makes me better. At the same time I like travelling because is the best way to learn about different cultures.

I also like listening to music, reading, hiking, camping, movies, photography, doing sports like futbol and swimming, hanging out, museums, theaters, parks, bars, etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I would like to meet new people and cultures from different countries, and I believe that couchsurfing is the best way to make it possible.

Interests

I m interested in meeting new people and new places. I have traveled quite a lot and CS has been a great tool to do it a different way.

Music, Movies, and Books

I m keen on argentinian and international rock, reggae, jazz and blues. The Beatles are my favourite band.
Of course, I m open to include new music to my list and I wish to do it.
One of my favourite movies are "The pianist", "The Motorcycle Diaries", "Life is Beatiful", "The Shawshank Redemption", etc.
I like reading very much, my favourite writers are Eduardo Gaelano, Charles Bukowsky, Noam Chomsky, Mario Vargas Llosa. Currently quite focused on Russian literature.
