About Me

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Buenos Aires, I moved to Barcelona to fulfill my dream of living close to the sea... in the meantime, I am doing a PhD in molecular genetics, which sounds kind of nerdy but it is actually really fun (ok, nerdy again). I love learning new stuff, sharing experiences and exchanging culture with others. Barna is a multicultural city and the atmosphere is really great for this.
Like everyone here, I love to travel, and now that I am in Europe and everything is closer I try to do it as much as I can.
I am a very open minded person that respects other people's choices. I always try to have a positive attitude and I laugh a lot. Life has taught me to enjoy every moment I've got so I try to guide my choices to the path that I want to follow.
Lots of other stuff about me... one of them is that I am lazy for this kind of descriptions, so you are welcome to ask... hehe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have actually had more "informal" couchsurfing experience than through the site... I was fortunate enough to meet lots of people that were into the whole spirit of sharing and learning through others, so I have hosted and surfed a lot of couches this way. Most of the time it was people I had met traveling... I want to get more involved in this exchange with CS. I prefer to meet the people in a place and the ways and color of it much more than the place itself.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Oficially I have only hosted twice and never surfed couches, but I met a few people from here and it was a really good experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I went to the Glaciar Perito Moreno in Argentina I stood in awe for at least 1 hour. Overwhelming should be the word.
Being able to visit so many beautiful beaches in Brasil and going surfing (or at least trying!) in many of them is definitely among my best memories.
Carnaval in Rio was also incredible. Well, apparently I need to take more time to describe amazing moments I've lived :)
