Overview
About Me
I was teaching Literature at Secondary school in Argentina. I´m interested in education, however, I prefer non-conventional schools as Popular Education (Paulo Freire) I really like reading, of course, and everything related to Literature and Linguistics. Nowadays, I am at the USA studying and teaching Spanish as a second language.
I like meeting new people, especially people that are traveling because they have a different sense of time, spaces and finally a different way of living. I can´t stand being too much time in the same place, that´s why I used to move out a lot when I can´t travel.
Also, I´m interested in politics, cause I suppose for me it´s impossible not to do it:-D
En Argentina estaba enseñando Lengua y Literatura en la secundaria en programas especiales de inclusión de jóvenes expulsados de los colegios tradicionales. Me gusta la educación aunque prefiero la no formal, en un sentido ideal me interesa la educación popular como fue pensada por Freire. Me encanta leer, y todo lo relacionado con las lenguas y la Sociolingüística.
Disfruto conociendo gente nueva, sobre todo, me gusta conocer extranjeras/os porque tienen una percepción distinta a la mía sobre lo que nos rodea, creo que me permite -al igual que viajar- ampliar nuestro horizonte, hacernos nuevas preguntas, salir de nuestras zonas de comodidad. Me gusta bailar y participo en una murga. Además, me interesa la política, por qué? porque no puedo no hacerlo...
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I host people at home, if it is possible. And if it not, it would be a pleasure for me to show you the city. And I`d like to surfer other member`s couch...
Si es posible, hospedo viajeros en mi hogar (ahora estoy complicada con la disponibilidad, pero puedo hacer de tourist guide). Me gustaría surfear algunos couchs alrededor del mundo!!
