About Me

Hi! I'm Maite from Argentina.
I'm currently travelling with my boyfriend Pablo, you can check his profile here: https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/pablo-hurtado-1
We are both engineers taking a break from our profession to travel for a while :)
Travelling has become a passion for us and we really enjoy meeting new people and places.
We are now in Norway where we plan to stay for about a year.
Hope to meet you soon!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think this is a great way of meeting people and sharing experiences and cultures. I like the idea of not only visiting a new place but also gaining a new friend.

Interests

I love to travel and I really really love dogs.
I've made some courses on photography and enjoy taking good photos and keep practising.
I'm also trained as barista so I'd love to share a good cup of coffee :)
I always enjoy a good film or a good book, and I'm always available to go for a concert!

Music, Movies, and Books

Hard to tell but I'd say I like Tolkien and Dan Brown books, Game of Thrones, Friends, The Simpsons.
When it comes to music I enjoy different things, but in general I really like The Beatles, Janis Joplin, Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Queen... and of course all the 80s music :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walking on a glaciar which was an incredible experience,
Shooting the stars in the north of Argentina (never seen the stars like that anywhere else),
Taking a train late at night in Germany, in the middle of a snow storm, without understanding if it was going to my destination (thankfully at the end it did!)
Seeing the northern lights, cannot compare nothing to that, it's just breathtaking.

Teach, Learn, Share

We can always learn from others, there's so much we don't know!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I promise to teach all you want to learn about argentinean culture and I can also teach you some spanish if you want to learn the language :)
I'd love to hear you talk about your homeland and culture and will always be available to share a meal (even cook something argentinean!) or a cup of coffee.
If you have pets I will definitely enjoy taking them for a walk any time you want.
I bake an excellent banana bread :)
