Hey people, I'm Luciano. My friends call me Lucho, though.

I was born (and almost all my life lived) in the deep Pampa. Now I specifically live in Buenos Aires City.

I earn my living working as a scientific researcher. I got a Master's Degree in Social Anthropology and currently I am studying a PhD in the same area.

To be honest, I haven't travelled as much as I would have liked to; that's why it's really important to me to start travelling more. I really think that Couchsurfing, and, of course, couchsurfers, are going to help me with this!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I consider myself an extremely curious guy. So for me traveling is about learning, knowing, experimenting, thinking, perceiving. And all these activities make even more sense when they are shared with people of flesh and blood that give you access to a part of their worlds.

I think Couchsurfing is a perfect means to this end.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I would love to say that I have done something really incredible, but I think nothing I did deserves to be called that way. However, don't you dare to believe that I have no aspirations to modify that soon!

Teach, Learn, Share

I could help you with spanish, share my knowledge about Argentine and Latin American customs and history, and teach you how to play the guitar upside down as we, left-handed people, usually do.
Also, I can share my experiences with scientific research and social anthropology. I really enjoy chatting about these topics.
