About Me

CURRENT MISSION

“A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.” – Lao Tzu

ABOUT ME

I live in Buenos Aires with my cat Hugo. I love travelling, getting to know other cultures and hanging out with my friends. I'm kind of a funny person and if I start laughing it will probably take some time until I can stop. I wish I could take some time and travel for a few months, but I really like my job and it's hard for me to leave it...

PHILOSOPHY

I never finish a trip without thinking or knowing where I am going next. Preparing my next trip (wherever this would be) always motivates me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I reply all the messages I recieve and try to meet people visiting my city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted two couples I met in Panama. I showed them some nice places in the city and hung out with them during the weekend. It was a really nice experience.

Interests

I love travelling, scuba diving and meeting new people and different cultures. I also like watching movies and listening to music. I used to be an English teacher but when I finished my studies in Social communications I started doing what I really love: I'm a journalist and I work as a tv producer in a news programme

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a big Beatles fan... and that's all I really need to say, isn't it? Ok... I like many, many bands and all sorts of music!
I'm kind of a Netflix addict... and yes, Friends is the best show ever! And yes, I also love watching movies!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The very first thing it comes to my mind: getting my OW certification. I know it's not much, but diving it's really amazing!

One thing I will never forget is when I reached Machu Picchu ruins. After 4 days of walking and with all my body hurting, I remember sitting on the top of a mountain and looking at the ruins. It was magical. My friends and I remained in silence for a long time (this doesn't happen much frequently) and we returned to the city full of energy.

Another amazing thing that changed me in many ways, was travelling alone. The first time was when I was 18 and I'd just finished my studies at high school, I travelled to London to study English. The second time was some years after, when I spent 1 month travelling around Bolivia. I also went to Colombia, Panama and Guatemala by myself.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Spanish and English.
I would love to learn more about photgraphy, cinema and music.
