About Me

I was born in the coast of Patagonia, in the argentinean capital of the wind!
I also lived in Buenos Aires and Bariloche during my university years, and in Texas for six months as an exchange student in highschool. Now I got a job in Germany so I ended up living here.
Even though I'm a nuclear engineer I'm not the freak you'd think from that.
I like all kinds of music as long as it's good, I'm a drummer looking for a band!
I love cooking, specially asado (barbecue) and some ethnic dishes I've learned over the years, like thai curries or ceviche.
I like trekking in the mountain and going on sea kayaking trips, so I miss Patagonia at the moment...
I have the most beautiful baby girl! She's really cool and smart and a tiny hitchhikker and couchsurfer!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been in pretty amazing corners of mother nature, specially in Patagonia (Argentina and Chile) trekking, kayaking or just driving around.
I've written my nuclear engineering thesis with one hand, while holding my baby girl on the other one, I'm kinda proud of that.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Spanish and some argentinean stuff like playing truco and drinking mate.
I'm learning german and russian, so any help with that is more than welcome!
We can cook together and share some beers. I'm always up for a good talk, specially about politics or conspiranoid stuff.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook really good argentinean food, even proper barbecue (asado) if I have enough time to steal some wood ;)
