About Me

I'm 29 years old. I'm from Argentina but I lived in Australia for the past year. Back home, I studied English/Spanish translation. After working as an English teacher and translator for some years, I decided it was time to finally do what I've always wanted to and hit the road!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While travelling, I want to see the world but also learn as much as I can about the places I visit. What better way to experience a place and a culture than staying with the people who actually live there? I'm happy to share chats, walks and meals and also some stories about my own country if you're interested to hear =)

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many to summarize it here! But just to give you an idea...

Music: almost everything really... rock, indie rock, jazz, blues, music from the 50/60s, electronic music too, you name it!
Films: not so keen on romantic comedies and stuff. I prefer dramas or thrillers or movies based on true stories. Some of my favourite directors are Tarantino, Boyle, Scorcese, and Spanish director Almodovar.
Books: WAY TOO MANY! I absolutely love reading, especially fiction.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Parachuting, mountain hiking, trail running. Also completed the Great Ocean Road Half Marathon in Australia =)

Teach, Learn, Share

As I said before, I'm happy to share chats, walks, music, meals and fun activities! I've also worked as an English teacher for a long time, so if you want to practice your English I'll be happy to!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good company and stories about my country or my travels if you're interested to hear. I'd also love to hear their own stories and experiences. We can also practice English and I play a little bit of ukelele, so we can have a small jam session =)
