About Me

I’m from Argentina but I’ve been living in NZ for almost 2 years. I’ve been travelling around the globe for a while… living in different countries and getting to know different cultures. I finally got to find my spot in the world.. Queenstown!
I’m an architect and snowboard instructor, into art and design as well as outdoor extreme sports. I work at a Civil and Structural Engineering Company in QT, where Engineers are so chilled out that work on shorts and sandals…
I love travelling either to cities where I can see and learn about Architecture and to exotic places where I can practice sports such as snowboarding, surfing, rock climbing… I’ve always preferred staying for a while in the places I visit, at least 2 or 3 months, work and actually live the local life and make friends. Now I keep going back to visit friends all around the world but just on vacations…

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to meet locals who can either show me around or suggest cool places to visit.
Also.. I love visitors getting to know the cool places in Queenstown and Buenos Aires (when I used to live there) and keeping them away from the overcharged boring touristic spots. Showing them secret bars, underground art galleries as well as good restaurants or fancy local parties... Things that are on at the moment in the city... and my favourite places in the mountains and the lake...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So I got to live a snow town life, a city life and finally... I get to live a proffesional life in a ski town! Living the dream!!
