About Me

I was born in a northern town in Argentina, and then moved to Buenos Aires to study and now I'm happily living in the city of London! on my own working on something I really love which are Visual effects (VFX). I am sharing a flat, and the new house rules don't let me host anyone here :(, I miss meeting new surfers a lot! sorry!

Horror film passionate and director. One of my biggest hobbies is to take pictures while travelling.
Super nerd/geek, love books, love films, and love playing board games.
I'm not ashamed to claim that I'm actually a very good pinball player.
Extrovert, talkative, good cooker and neat (Monica Geller and I would be really good friends).
Omnivore but I usually prefer vegetables.
Open minded.
I'm a buddhist, Soka Gakkai Intenational member, and love to travel anywhere I can, learn a lot and meet new friends around the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Encouraged by a friend who always travels with Couchsurfing, I wanted to experience a new way of travelling, meeting new people and knowing new places from a new perspective, which only locals can show you.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love fantastic and gothic genre, everything related to that is awesome for me.
Harry Potter, Sherlock Holmes and Studio Ghibli passionate.
One of my favourites books is "The Games Maker" by argentinian writer Pablo De Santis and 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami.
I have a really random taste on music, but really into pop, funk and jazz. And The Beatles and The Who, because of my dad.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm I think one of the most amazing thing I've done is to travel around Europe and have gone up to Stockholm in 2016 to shoot a movie with a friend, and then ended up in a film festival in Switzerland watching John Carpenter performing live. That's the best experience I had!

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot about movies, film theory and film history.
I know drawing and a lot of computer stuff in software and hardware.
Also I'm really handy on carpentry, mostly beacuse of my dad.
And know a lot of card games, I would love to teach so I can play with someone.
I really want to keep learning a lot about diferent cultures and diferent life experiences, I think those are the real valuable knowledge.
I think everything I know is something I can teach and share. I believe in the freedom of information. :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm really talkative and good listener. I love to hear people's stories and tend to get on well with everyone, I think a good conversation is the first thing I know I can share.
I'm a really neat person, and like to clean and take care of a house.
I enjoy cooking, it really relaxes me.
I also know carpentry and few things about electricity in the house so I can be a really handy-woman.
