Overview
About Me
I am bubbly guy, full of energy to talk and hear good stories. I am constantly challenging myself, choosing and pursuing new projects every day, definitely a big fan of changes!(who moved my cheese? worth reading lecture). I love being spontaneous and try new things, especially when it brings me out of my comfort zone. Down for any kind of activities, hiking a mountain or going for a beer are both exciting plans!
Really convinced that trying the local food is a must! Open to recommendations!
Retired Engineer for a while. Last year I took the decision of getting away of the grid and I decided to take a break from real life and experience the customs, habits and culture of people around the world and the most important part: myself.
After a year living in Australia, it's time to start a new adventure. - STILL WORKING ON IT -
Passionate about world economic and politics, that's why you will find me deeply curious, so please don't be scared if I have a lot of questions about your country and your style of life :)
In 2016 I read for very first time "The Power of Now" and after 3 years I haven't been able to stop reading it. It simply has helped me transform my mindset from one of stress and fear and uncertainty, to one that tends to welcome abundance, acceptance, gratitude and positivity. Not every day is easy, but my resilience is so much stronger because I know how to bring myself back into the moment and release tension and stress. I can let it go and move forward, unburdened.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
After 4 years working in a office enviroment.. I wondered, what it would happen if I kept doing what I am doing? My fears and doubts were not going to stop me so I finally decided to do something different, something unsual, at least for me. I quit my job and my belongings in Argentina and I went to Australia to experience how it feels work in a real farm.
I totally got the best from my farm work in Australia by using it as an opportunity to do something completly different, unkwown. During my stay in Australia I spent most of the time in a "remote island" called Tasmania and verify that is not only there the demon devil (lol). At the begging was taugh but gradually I got the hang of it!
Now my resume looks different, my professional experience changed from Industrial Engineer specialized on Energy Regulation, to Potatoe Picker, Garlic Planter, Grape Picker and Apple Prunner.
Teach, Learn, Share
I am open to teach and share my language, what is actually something that I really enjoy! As a amateur photographer would love to have a improvised model to make some shots and obviously share photography tips! . Normally I surprise my hosts with a meal following some Argentinian recipes! Last but not least, having a good talk about traveling and experiences!
What I Can Share with Hosts
Good talks, friendship, good vibes and a fun spirit.
