I am from Mendoza (Argentina) but I've been living in Auckland (New Zealand) since 2016. Since I moved to New Zealand, I've been traveling on and off, following my theatre career around the world. Since the pandemic, I've stayed in NZ for a longer time.
I really love traveling and meeting new people. I travel every time I have a chance! Besides that, I love music, movies, sports, photography and more!
I enjoy having new experiences with people from different cultures, that's why I like CS so much.
I started a theatre group for Spanish speakers in Auckland, which I'm directing. I'm also a performer and instructor in a local Improv group called Covert Theatre. I'm the director of the Auckland Improv Marathon and the Auckland Improv Festival 🎭
During the day, I work as a Team Lead at Serato 🎧

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Some years ago I backpacked around USA, Mexico and Europe for almost a year and when I came back to my hometown, I felt like giving back some of the kindness and hospitality I found while I was travelling. That´s why I started hosting other travellers from around the world :)
Now that I´m living in New Zealand, I try to keep the tradition alive!

I usually had awesome CS experiences. Of course, some of them better than others, but I´m really grateful to the community. Without it, my trips wouldn't be the same. That´s another positive thing, travellers know how is to travel for a long time, away from home...
