Overview
About Me
I'm just a naturally curious person who's always up for learning something new. I enjoy shooting the breeze, whether it's diving into lively conversations or just chilling in some quiet time. I am clean, considerate and respectful.
Meeting new folks is a real highlight for me, especially those with different backgrounds. Connecting with people from all walks of life adds some spice to my experiences. I dig the different outlooks that come from these meet-ups, and there's nothing better than sharing a good laugh to break the ice.
In this whole human interaction thing, I see everyone as a storyteller, bringing their own flavor to the mix. Through shared jokes and experiences, these connections create a cool patchwork of understanding and empathy, like a canvas painted with the diverse colors of our shared humanity.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm on a travel adventure to Los Angeles and Florida. So, if you're up for it, I'd love to meet you! I'm also on the lookout for a couch to crash on for a night or two. Maybe we can share some stories and laughs in person! I hosted travelers when I was 20. A guy from Israel, a super nice girl from Europe. Karina Belova. She left a review in my other account. It turns out I opened another account and verified it without realizing I had have opened a second one. Long story short, I stopped hosting IDK why.. I guess life just got too busy. And I forgot about this amazing community. Things improved a lot on the site now that I am back. So I am starting all over again.
Interests
I'm all about the two-wheel life – love cruising around on my bike, feeling the wind in my hair. Long walks are my jam too, gotta soak in those surroundings. I'm an active soul, always up for an adventure. Cooking is my therapy – there's something special about whipping up a good meal.
And you know what? I'm not just into small talk. I dig those deep conversations that make you think. Oh, and good coffee? Can't start my day without it. So, if you're up for some cycling, a stroll, or just want to chat over a great cup of coffee, count me in!

Music, Movies, and Books
These are the latest books I had the pleasure to read lately:
"Solve for Happy" by Mo Gawdat:
Mo Gawdat, the Chief Business Officer at Google's , shares his journey and insights into finding true happiness in "Solve for Happy." Drawing on his experiences and a mathematical equation he developed, Gawdat explores practical ways to achieve enduring happiness, emphasizing the importance of understanding and managing our thoughts and perceptions.
"How to Change Your Mind" by Michael Pollan:
Michael Pollan, a renowned author and journalist, delves into the world of psychedelics and their potential for personal transformation in "How to Change Your Mind." He explores the history, science, and therapeutic applications of psychedelics, providing a balanced perspective on their impact on the mind and consciousness.
"Atomic Habits" by James Clear:
James Clear, a productivity and habits expert, breaks down the science of habit formation in "Atomic Habits." Clear provides practical strategies to build good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results. The book explores the power of small changes and their cumulative impact on personal and professional development.
"The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" by Mark Manson:
Mark Manson, a blogger and self-help author, offers a refreshing take on personal development in "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck." Rather than focusing on positivity and success, Manson advocates for embracing life's challenges and learning to prioritize what truly matters. The book encourages readers to let go of societal expectations and live a more authentic and meaningful life.
These readings cover a range of topics from happiness and personal development to psychedelic exploration and habit formation, providing diverse insights for those seeking growth and understanding in different aspects of life.
I love all kinds of music, but reggaeton or cumbia. I know.. Very common here in LATAM.
Movies, I like a good drama. But I'd rather watch a funny comedy, which is harder to find these days. But I like better read than watching TV.
Podcasts? I follow Andrew Huberman, and hear his nerdy neuroscience show once a week. I like diary of a CEO, which is an interview podcast. And I haven't heard all the episodes, but I am reading Tools of Titans, and checking on some of Tim Ferris Show episodes.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've been fortunate to experience some remarkable moments in life. One highlight has been establishing my own e-bike tour company, where I got to share the joy of cycling in beautiful places with others.
Reflecting on the past, I had the privilege of living in Aspen, Colorado, in 2010. The breathtaking mountain landscapes and the warm community made it a truly special chapter.
Additionally, at a younger age, I called both Barcelona and Florianopolis, Brazil, home. Barcelona offered a vibrant cultural experience, while Florianopolis embraced me with its sun-soaked beaches and relaxed lifestyle. These varied experiences have woven a unique tapestry into the fabric of my life, and I'm truly grateful for each chapter.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can totally teach you how to make the best mate. Right now, I'm just practicing my English, but I'm getting pretty good at it. My goal is to be really good at chatting about anything. So, if you ever want to practice English or just have a friendly talk, I'm here for it! I can share with my hosts something sweet, something to zip, or something herbal, you choose your adventure!!! Just tell me and I will bring a piece of Argentina with me for you 🤝
What I Can Share with Hosts
I'm really excited about the idea of connecting with my hosts! I've got a bunch of stories to share, love to cook up some tasty meals or grab coffee together. Exploring the neighborhood on walks and having deep, meaningful talks are totally my jam. Oh, and I'm always up for sharing a refreshing round of kombuchas! Looking forward to making some great memories together! 😉
