About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Taking in as much as I can from the amazing possibility I've had of travelling.

ABOUT ME

I'm quite outgoing and smile and laugh a lot. I like trying new things and getting to know new people. I enjoy sharing knowledge and information about new, different cultures. I'm also a great cook (modesty aside :P)! I like to be aware of the people around me and try to as helpful as I can.

PHILOSOPHY

All worlds you aspire to, all justice you demand, all love you search for, all human beings you would follow or destroy are also within you. Everything that changes within you will change your direction in the landscape you inhabit. Thus, if you have need of something new, you must surpass the old that dominates within you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

So far I've only surfed in Athens, and had a blast. My hosts were amazingly nice people and I was very sad to leave them.
I've hosted a number of times (although not through this website) and have enjoyed it a lot.
I've had some coffees and helped some fellow travelers I met here along the way.

Interests

I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I work as a teacher, which I absolutely love and like to spend my time dancing to almost anything and talking with friends. I'm into meditating and like to have conversations about something other than everyday life. I've recently discovered my interest for sculpture. When I visit a new place, I tend to stay away from the more touristy stuff and try to experience it the way locals do.
