About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Smile, smile, smile

ABOUT ME

I am from Córdoba but I'm living in Buenos Aires right now. I study, work, volunteer among other things. I feel amazed by people and I love talking with them.
I love listening to music and reading (novels, most of it). Movies is one of my biggest passions too: movies from all over the world are good to me.
I am a volunteer for AFS Intercultural Programs, and that's the main reason I love people from other countries. I speak English and pure Spanish from Córdoba.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to host couchsurfers, show this beautiful city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I used to show Córdoba to people, and tried to help them get a little taste of it. Nowadays, I can host travelers in my small apartment in Buenos Aires.
I've surfed in the US and Budapest.

Interests

I like sharing my time with people, talking and listening to them. I believe that sharing experiences with people is the best way to learn for one another.

I have volunteered for AFS (www.afs.org), a non-profit organization where I can meet new people, be creative, and do lots of things. Now I work as a staff there.

And, love reading and listening to music, having fun and all those kind of things that usually make people happy :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was an exchange student lots of years ago, and it was the experience that changed my life forever.

Oh, and once I say the subway going backwards. It was bizarre.

Teach, Learn, Share

I strongly believe in Intercultural Learning, not only as a fashion but as a way that people can understand each other. Learning from differences create bridges between people. We are different, and that's what makes this world a very interesting place to live.
