About Me

Living in Buenos Aires again (where I grow up) after have lived for 9 years in Mar Azul, a small town in the atlantic cost of Argentina, where I was a volunteer firefighter.

I am deeply passionate about dancing tango, if you want to take classes and go to "milongas" in Buenos Aires, glad to help you.

Fortunately I work from home, managing commercial and designing matters of a small company that I co-founded (manufacter eco bags). I also host people at home!

I love animals, specially my dog-daughter Luna, trees and vegetable gardens. I like to meet friends, share some beers or a good wine, but I hate places where you have to shout instead of speaking. I enjoy to observe nature, birds, animals, landscapes, people and other little amazing things.

I think that the only way to travel is to meet interesting people who love their places. People are the variable that the business of turism can´t control, and the only one that can still surprise you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I like to know cities through the people. I think that TURISM as it is tradicionally done is boring and empty of the real culture, feelings and thoughts. Share some meal, good conversations and (the best) go for a city tour or meet local friends, are special things that really can be possible through CS.

Interests

Learn about culture, people, ways of living and the feelings of cities where I travel. I like nature, outdoors activities, learning about eco stuff and have good conversations. I love live music and all kind of art. I like "traditions", and I am always available to talk about ours.
