CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I come from Neuquén City (that´s in Patagonia, Argentina) and in I live in The Hague and study Composition at the Royal Conservatoire. I lived in Buenos Aires City from 2004 to May 2011.
I love music, specially classical and contemporary. I also love progressive rock, jazz, tango, drum n´ bass and dubstep. I´m fond of arts and humanities and I like a lot to read (when I have the time and will).
I lived in Germany for one year (2001-2002) as an exchange student, during that time I travelled a lot inside the country. After that, I´ve made two big trips, one to Bolivia and Peru in 2005 and another to Western and Southern Europe in 2008.
I'm very fond of meeting new people and exchanges ideas, experiences and dishes =)

PHILOSOPHY

"I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance" e.e. cummings

"If it´s work, stop it, and do something else" Ray Bradbury

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In Buenos Aires I hosted people from Germany, England and Poland. I also had a lot of coffee-or-drinks to practice German, English or Dutch. I've been hosted twice in The Hague.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- I took a flight in a piper over the Nazca lines.
- I went to Bomarzo, Italy, where the "Park of the monsters" is located, a sculpture park from the 16th century.
- I travelled in Bolivia by bus through the cliffs from La Paz to Sorata.
- I heard live the 5 hs. piece of music "For Philip Guston" by Morton Feldman. Really trascendental!
- Basler Fasnacht!
- Reading the last 50 pages of "Remembrance of times past" by Proust on a bus through Patagonia while fearing that I could die at any moment without ending the work.
