CURRENT MISSION

We started this trip in order to know our grandparents town. We want to connect with the places we hear so much about and that our grandparents loved and missed so much. In some way, we feel that it can be a reunion with them.

ABOUT US (Alejandro and Laura)

Ale is a musician and sound engineer. He likes to work with wood (trade inherited from his grandfather) and has ingenuity to solve things. He likes to ride a bicycle and admires the importance of cycling in Europe. I am Laura, professor of elongation and aerial acrobatics. I work giving classes in my home, where I can give myself the opportunity to generate an intimate climate and get to know my students in depth. I have an integral approach to the body; my work is intimately related to the mind and the soul. I am also a designer. I like art and artistic expressions of all kinds.

PHILOSOPHY

Our type of work allows us to meet new people all the time. And we are very grateful for that opportunity. We wish that this trip gives us the same luck.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We travel because we want to know different cultures and in order to do that, we want to met its people. In this aspect it is an incredible experience that Couchsurfing offers to link locals with foreigners. Unfortunately we will not be able to stay more than 1 or 2 days in each place, given the time we have to travel. We will be very grateful if you receive us at your home and we promise to serve some good Argentine “mates”.

Interests

Ale plays the guitar and as a sound engineer he works in artistic shows. He plays football like almost any Argentinian, he mobilizes practically by bicycle and a few years ago he acquired a passion for kayaking.

I train and teach pole-fitness and elongation. I do Reiki, Meditation and I have a holistic view of life. I like to draw, paint and write as expression tools.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This year we completely rebuilt all the kitchen. We made it all by ourself. From breaking up, designing and building. It is a pride because is our first proyect so big.

Teach, Learn, Share

Talks that would never end ...

With Ale you can share some guitar lessons, live sound and studio recording and some notions of carpentry and crafts.

I can give you some tips to accommodate the body, register your posture and some decontracting exercise that you may be needing and you didn´t know.

We can both help you if you are learning Spanish =)

And since we like to cook, we are eager to learn the cuisine of each region.
