CURRENT MISSION

To learn everyday and have as much fun as I can in the way.

ABOUT ME

Well it's kind of difficult to talk objectively about myself so... what can I say? I'm Martin, a young electrical engineer from Argentina who loves music, books, history, politics, movies and art in general terms.

I've been living in Spain for 8 years now and I love Barcelona, my adoptive city. I'm a simple guy, love simple things. I like spending time with friends, going out for a drink, for partying or going outside the city to get in touch with nature. I also enjoy a nice and quiet conversation.

PHILOSOPHY

Explore, enjoy, learn, love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I offer my place and I can show the city to visitors!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted people and I hope to be hosted anytime soon. I enjoy to get in touch with different cultures from mine because I can learn a lot of things.

Interests

I love reading, listening to music and I still feel I have to learn to play a musical instrument properly, I like eating good meals and drinking great wines. I love to learn about history, politics and culture from around the world, cooking simple great things when I have the time... and stuff that help me understand more things from people living abroad and from me. I also consider myself an amateur photographer. And of course I love travelling! :-)
