Hi! Mi name is Leonardo, I'm 25 years old and I'm from Argentina. I study psychology in Mar del Plata, my hometown, and I just quit my job as a bartender there to travel around Europe. What I look forward to is sharing experiences with locals and get to know different cultures. I'm a musician, so I'd also like to take my music with me wherever I go (I brought my acoustic guitar) and find people to play music with.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think couchsurfing is a great way to meet different places from the people who live there. Talking to the locals is always a good way to experience a new culture, but staying with them is always better.

Interests

I really like watching sports (specially basketball), reading books (I'm reading Lovecraft right now, and some psychology and sociology books as well), and learning about how people live in different places. I enjoy learning history from the places I visit, especially when it comes to old buildings.
Music is my biggest passion, and I enjoy listening to it as much as I like to play it. My favourite gender is grunge, but I enjoy a lot of different styles, from chill out to heavy metal.

Music, Movies, and Books

Bands i like: Pearl Jam, Metallica, Jack Johnson, Black Label Society, Eruca Sativa, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Audioslave, Guns n' Roses, Aerosmith, Spineta, Selah Sue, Zaz, Regina Spektor

Books: anything by Tolkien, Arthur Conan Doyle or Rowling. I also enjoy reading science books from Goffman, Bauman, Eckman, Foucault, Pichon Riviere.

My favourite movies are Into the Wild, Rockstar, Pulp Fiction (and anything by Quentin Tarantino), every Woody Allen film, the Lord of The Rings and The Hobit series, the Star Wars saga, among others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, it's hard to choose just one amazing thing I've seen or done. The top three would be: building my own electric guitar, going to see my favourite band (Pearl Jam) twice in Argentina, and spending three months living in New Orleans, USA, with my best friend.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think life is about learning. I don't see myself having a break from learning ever, because that would imply i know enough, and that's impossible. Right now I'm a psychology student, and once I get my degree I'm gonna keep on studying. I love my University, and being around people who wants to share their knowledge and discuss it with others.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a pretty handy guy, and anything that i can do to help my host, I'd be happy to do it.
