About Me

I'm a 28-year-old Argentine guy from Buenos Aires, with Italian roots from Sicily. My journey led me to become a doctor, and my focus lies in managing chronic pain, a constant quest for relief and understanding.

Currently in Australia, I'm eager to explore the world and immerse myself in the richness of diverse cultures, languages, and medicinal approaches. My personality is defined by simplicity, patience, and a genuine interest in connecting with people from around the globe. I enjoy reading, writing, and a constant desire to learn, always seeking to overcome new challenges.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing with the intention of exploring a country through the eyes of its residents. My aim is to delve into their everyday lives, understand their culture, experience their daily situations, and gain insights into their politics, events, religions, and interests. My goal is to break down false beliefs that may circulate outside the country and to acquire authentic knowledge from a local perspective.

Books: Greek mythology, Haruki Murakami, men’s search for meaning (viktor frankl), a song of ice and fire and Harry Potter.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Receiving my diploma in 2020 coincided with the onset of the COVID era and isolation. During this challenging time, I embraced the opportunity to learn rapidly and had to solve unpredictable situations. Among the most rewarding experiences was working with vulnerable individuals exhibiting mild COVID symptoms. It transcended the medical aspect, delving into the human side. From that period, I gained profound insights and a deeper appreciation for the resilience of the human spirit.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm eager to share insights on health-related topics, nature, and the diverse cultures of different countries. I bring culinary skills to the table, promising a taste of my kitchen adventures. I'm also keen to share stories from my journeys around the world and provide insights into life in Argentina, offering a cultural exchange through conversations and experiences.
