Hi! I like to do a lot of things. I play music, I work in the visual arts, photography video. I do meditation and yoga. I love nature. I am a vegan and love to cook specially Asian cuisine. I love riding bicycle.
I grew up in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Finished Highschool in Miami, Florida and studied Film in San Francisco, California. Also lived in Brooklyn, New York Then I moved back to Argentina where I have lived for about 10 years. I've traveled a lot all over the world and worked in many places and seen many different cultures. I really like to get to know different people and culture. It is very important for me since I believe that it nourishes you as a compassionate human being.
Now I decided to change my life a bit and travel the world for as long as I can. I hope I can find new meanings and experiences and learn from the people I meet and the places I visit along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am couchsurfing because I think it is a great way to meet locals and also helps my budget in this world tour. When I am traveling I always love to ask people for local things to do and experience so staying with someone who lives in the place where I am traveling to helps out. I also like to cook and share with people so staying with someone can teach me some new recipes and treat people with what I make. Cooking will help my budget and it's a great way to get to know people.
I am clean, tidy and respectful. I won't bother if you want to not be bothered. I can entertain you if you want to be entertained. I am very social and easy to get along with and like to always meet new people.
Thank you with all my respect

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my most precious memory is going to see whales in Oaxaca, Mexico. We took a boat trip into the Pacific Ocean in a small boat with a few people. We saw whales, turtles, and dolphins. It was 31st of december. Eventually we made it really far into the ocean and arrive at a spot where there were lots of seagulls flying around and about a dozen dolphins swimming about.
The people from the boat told us that we could jump into the water with snorkels if we wanted to, so I eagerly did. The moment I dove my head into the ocean water I was taking away by the scenery.
The first thing I noticed was the singing of the dolphins it was beautiful and it sounded like a big choir. Then there were little shiny specs of fish floating around making it look like a starry sky. There was a huge school of I believe were sardines swimming in a big spiral and dozens of dolphins eating from it.
Suddenly I look to my right and I see a seagull dive into the water and take a fish. It was like being inside a nature documentary. Something I will never forget. Thank you for reading :P

Teach, Learn, Share

There are many things I love to share and teach. From music to weird facts about life reality science and existence. None of it can be written down here.
One fun fact; there is a black whole in the middle of our vision where all the nerves meet but our brain covers it up with made up images. So pretty much we are being fooled by our brain.
