Overview
About Me
I currently live in the beautiful province of Mendoza, Argentina. I really enjoy all aspects of outdoor activities, especially climbing mountains and high-altitude trekking! I have had many amazing adventures while climbing all the biggest mountains in the Andes.
I also like music a lot. I play many instruments and have been singing for a long time in choirs and as a solist!
My other and biggest passion lies at the opposite end of the mountains: philosophy. I'm a philosophy researcher and teacher, and I really like thinking, meditating, reading and have interesting conversations with anyone about anything.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I don't want to experience the world as a tourist! I'm not interested in hotels or scheduled excursions.
I believe that Couchsurfing gives you the opportunity to know the world in a unique way, knowing each place from a unique perspective, starting from the human warmth, the new friendships, the unrepeatable experiences, etc.
I don't know if it would be possible to truly experience and understand a place in a short space of time without something like Couchsurfing. It creates the potential to experience all things in a way that sometimes just can't be achieved alone when in a strange land. Making new connections excites me, especially worldly ones. This seems like the best place to foster them.
