About Me

ABOUT ME

My name is Juan. I was born and raised in Argentina but my parents are from Hong Kong.
I've been traveling and working around the world for the last 6 years. I lived in differents countries like Canada, Usa, New Zealand, Australia, Brazil and France and I travelled in many others... I've met wonderful people around the world and I'd say that I learnt something from each person that I hang out with because I do believe that your environment affects your personality . Everytime I go to a new country I try to meet locals and try to see their culture, mindsets and try to see the world the way they see it.. That's actually one of the things I love the most about traveling ... sometimes you meet a person with a great personality, passion, goal or philosophy about life that after meeting that person your mind changes a little bit and you start seeing things differently. That's why I travel and that's why I am on Couchsurfing.
Currently I am travelling around Europe but I am planning to move to Denmark for a few months. I've been granted with a working visa so I am planning to work there as well. Why I am coming? I believe Danish people think way different than people in South America. I would like to see how they see the world, see their habits, mindset ,culture and I hope to learn from it.
