About Me

I am 35 years old, from Argentina. I am friendly, cheerful, easy going, tidy, respectful, open mind.
I am super fan of being surrounded by nature: lakes, beaches, mountains, jungle, forest.
I love music, dancing, biking, kayaking, among other things, tasting wine. #winelover

I started my first long trip on March, 2017, first destiny: New Zealand. It was the best experience ever!!

Since then, apart from work and travel, I have done a few voluntary work:
* helping in a Retreat Centre in Taupo, New Zealand setting up the guest´s rooms , being kitchen hand, trying to turn on the fire place at mornings, enjoying the group meditation every morning
* having a fun experience working in Puerto Princesa, Philippines with local people distribuiting the time between the restaurante, the coffee store and the Resort stand inside the mall. My friends and I were models in the Annual Pearl Parade, we were lucky to be there during June.
* doing the first steps of the base of the future backpacker´s hostel in Tioman Island, Malaysia. Sleeping in tents literally on the beach. A great nature experience.
* working in a family restaurante in Tioman Island, Malaysia like waitress, kitchen hand, prepairing fresh juices, checking the food stock. The best result was the friendship that I have made with that family, they will be always my Tioman Family.
* helping an architect in Kota Kinabalu, Borneo with his activities doing some office and construction work.
* volunteering in a buddhist monastery with the objective to follow the schedule for their activities and practicing meditation.

In all of them I found and learned more things than I expected, so I am willing to have new voluntary experiences.

Throughout my trip I have visited 14 countries and I still have other many in the list to be visited soon.

Nowadays I am working in wineries from different countries during the harvest season. #winelover

* VERY IMPORTANT!! I use to take a shower every night before going to sleep

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In every new trip I am willing to meet local people, the better way to know about their culture, learn about their language and visit those secret places that just they know.
I would like to improve my English language and learn a bit more about another ones.
