About Me

I´m a friendly outgoing person. Like meeting friends and family whenever I´m able.
As a means of transport, I use my bycicles to go everywhere.

On weekends I usually go sailing along the Rio de la Plata.
I also like dancing very much, tango and brasilean samba de gafierira music, I can show you around if you like!

I´m very tidy and clean at home and in others´.

I´m an architect and now working independantly on my own refurbishing jobs, so I´m working at home nowadays (in the living room where the couch is). But as long as we organize, I wouldn´t mind you sleeping here for 2 nights.
At the end of the day I usually go the gym.

Cooking is also an important deal for me, but doing it depends on how much work I´m having. I don´t eat meat, just fish.

Sometimes I practise some meditation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy very much meeting new people from all over the world, learning about the place where they live and their travels, also showing and sharing my place from the local lifestyle point of view, out from the typical touristic stuff.
I´ve travelled quite a lot and found lots of very generous people on my way and would like to do the same.
Until last year I lived in a very very small studio and couldn´t host anybody. Now I can! :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed the Volcan Lanin at Patagonia of 5600m height.
Crossed to Punta del Este, Uruguay by sailboat in the middle of a big storm (1,5 days trip).
Travelled during a whole year in 2009-2010 around Europe, Mexico and Morocco.

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to be an english teacher of 6 years old students. I love working with children doing community service activities with them.
Also, like teaching visitors about the nicest parts of my city ;-) and love foreigners to tell me about their culture and habits.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Time after working hours, dinner and maybe lunch, and time during weekends.
Some outings maybe.
Milongas.... cycling.... museums perhaps, art exhibitions... friends gathering perhaps if it happens to be any...and sailing if there´s space at the boat!
