About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Travel the world to get to know myself and learn about other cultures. Leave behind a life of routine in favor of a life of adventure.
-------
Viajar por el mundo para conocerme a mi misma, aprender de las diversas culturas. Salir de la rutina y darle mas aventuras a mi vida.

ABOUT ME
I was born and lived in Buenos Aires until age 37. However, I have never liked being in a big city..haha!!!
For 13 years I worked as a cashier in the pandemonium of a grocery megamarket. Until one lovely day, to my relief, that corporation decided that we should part ways :) :)
I have always liked natural scenery and small towns, so I decided to go work in the south of Argentina, in a beautiful and magical town called ¨El Chalten,¨ Patagonia. That´s how I started to meet people who travel and work all over the world, and I made up my mind to do the same. I started my journey in September of 2012. I went to live on Holbox island, Mexico for 1 year, traveled through Central America, and eventually decided to visit Europe.
By now I have been in Italy for meybe 3 year. I would like to become an Italian citizen, because my whole family is Italian. That way it would be easy for me to work in Europe and travel to many countries where my Argentine passport is not welcome.
I am in constant movement between Couchsurfing, hostels, friends´ houses, and volunteer jobs. Therefore I don´t currently have a place to host guests... sorry :( :( But I think one day I will return to a more normal lifestyle, and I will be able to pay forward all the help I have received :) :)
I am a calm person... cheerful, taciturn, and respectful. A girl with simple tastes, who has no desire for luxury. Rather I enjoy nature, adventure, animals, and travel.
------------------

Nací y viví en Bs. As. Argentina hasta los 37 años. Aunque admito que nunca me gusto vivir en una gran ciudad..jje.. Durante 13 años trabajé de cajera en la locura de un gran supermercado . Hasta que un buen día, para mi felicidad, la empresa decidió desvincularme :) :)
Siempre me gusto mucho la naturaleza y los pueblos pequeños para vivir, así que decidí ir a trabajar a la Patagonia Argentina, a un hermoso y mágico pueblo llamado ¨El Chalten¨. Así fui conociendo mucha gente que viajaba y trabajaba por diversas partes del mundo, y decidí hacer lo mismo. Comencé a viajar en septiembre de 2012, viví en Isla Holbox, en Mexico 1 año, viaje por Centro América, y luego decidí venir a Europa.
En estos momentos me encuentro en Italia hace casi 3 años. Quiero ser ciudadana italiana, ya que toda mi familia es italiana. De esta forma es mas fácil para trabajar en Europa y viajar a otros países que con el pasaporte argentino no puedo.
Estoy en constante movimiento, entre couchsurfing, hostels, casas de amigos, voluntariados. Por eso, por el momento no tengo un lugar para recibir huéspedes. Lo siento..:( :(
Pienso que en un futuro haré una vida mas normal y tendré la posibilidad de devolver todo lo que los host me han dado. :) :)
Soy una persona muy tranquila, alegre, de pocas palabras, respetuosa. Una chica sencilla, que no necesita lujos. Amo la naturaleza, la aventura, los animales, viajar.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Saw the bioluminescent sea at Holbox island, Mexico.... and on a high peak I shared with friends a view of the mountains surrounded by glaciers.
Swam with a whale shark while surrounded by Manta rays.
I once tried to cross the ocean in a Furia 28, but on the third day we had to send for rescue because our rudder broke :) :)
----------
-Vivir la luminiscencia en Is. Holbox, México.
-Ver las montañas rodeadas de glaciares desde lo mas alto de ellas mismas y compartirlas con amigos.
-Nadar con el tiburón ballena y estar rodeada de mantarayas.
-Intentar cruzar el océano en un Furia 28 y al tercer día que nos tengan que ir a rescatar porque se nos rompió el timón.. :) :)
