ABOUT ME

Currently living in Buenos Aires city (Argentina), I share a beautiful house with my boyfriend and friends.

I am a graduate student in Political Science. I am a very friendly person who enjoys meeting with friends and having a social life. I love urban lifestyle, walking around and meeting the city and its people.

I think of me as an easygoing person. I like to talk when I meet people that enjoy "real" conversations. But the silence doesn't bother me. Sometimes it is just about sharing a peaceful time.

I love travelling and have traveled around Argentina and South American countries. I've also been in Europe and lived a few months in Canada.

This year I got the opportunity to do a six week internship in Global Witness, London. So, here I'm, enjoying this lovely city that received me with an unusual sunny summer! I'll be here until mid-august. I'm planning to travel around during and after my internship. I hope we have the chance to meet!

PHILOSOPHY

"don't hurt of title any heartbit" (no herir de titulo ningun pulso)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Although I have no couch at home, my house is alwyas open to receive friends! Just write me and we can arrange how to accomodate you!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well, I had some couchsurfing experience a few years ago. After that, I settled in Buenos Aires, where I received good friends! I'm now going out again for a while, looking for couches and nice people to share my travel with.

Interests

I enjoy music and literature. I am not very keen on sports though I love swimming. I enjoy cycling and walking around the city. I know how to drive a car but never tried to do it in Buenos Aires...
