Overview
About Me
Let's become citizens of the world (like Bjork)!
ABOUT ME/US
Cities are alive and each one has a unique rhythm; I prefer to get to know locals' daily life rather than visiting (only) traditional touristic places.
I've lived in a different continent, spoken a different language and I've visited places I'd never imagined I'd ever be, it's been amazing!
I don't like to talk about myself as if I were a thing to be bought; of course I could say some good things about me but my friends should say them. I'm tidy, clean, quiet, etc, etc but sometimes I get a bit annoying with tidiness. I'm a bit obsessive and sometimes it's difficult for me to live with someone who's a mess but I'm not a tyrant so don't freak out ;) and of course if it's not my house I adapt to the owner's rules.
I'm in a 6 year relationship with a lovely/neurotic boy like me :)
We've been living together in Rosario for 4 years and now it's our time to travel! so we'll be spending 2 months travelling around Europe <3
PHILOSOPHY
"No te salves" (poem from Mario Benedetti)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Well I'm kinda newbie here but I'm open to new challenges... I'm willing to meet new people and do whatever I can to put in practice a new way to relate with people, without egoism and self-interest, developing new bounds more humanitarian.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Some guys hosted me in London, Amsterdam, Berlin and Barcelona and it has been an awesome experience! Every time I enjoy more and more meeting people from CS and visiting cities I'd never expected.
I think Couch-Surfing as a community and not as a ghetto... what do I mean? we are all here with the aim of developing new social bounds, save the idea of "trust" and making what we can to improve our time in the Earth as human beings, but that doesn't mean, at least for me, that we have to become some kind of "cool-people's-club" and develop a "Couch-Surfer-way-of living" and traveling...
yeah! it's a bit confusing, I'm thinking about it while I'm writing it and even in a language it's not mine! maybe we can have a coffee and talk about this ;)

Music, Movies, and Books
Music:
At this moment I'm listening Turandot from Giacomo Puccini (sung by Pavarotti)
Today I've also listened to Dixie Chicks, David Guetta, Edward Maya and Ladytron
As you see, I like all kind of music.
Books:
Due to the amount of books I have to read for university I haven't had much time to read fiction but I really enjoy Garcia Marquez. One of my favourite books is Manuel Vicent's "Son de mar" (there's a movie based on that novel)
Films:
I'm not really into Hollywood stuff; I guess "V for Vendetta" doesn't enter in that category (I really like it, and the rhyme is very catchy "remember remember the 5th of November...").
Ma vie en rose (of a transgender child)
La vie en rose (of Edith Piaf's life)
Hedwig and the angry inch
Esperando la carroza (a must of argentinean cinema)
I guess series can go here: Inspector Morse (old, I know! but very good)
