Hello everyone!
I am Mauro, a 37-year-old Argentine travelling around the world for 2020 (the least). I've already been to Colombia many times (have life-long friends there), Mexico, many places in Latin America, USA, Spain and other European cities. Heading for Middle East, India, and South-East Asia later on this year.
I'm an English translator and have also worked as a model and costume designer assistant.
Music, literature, movies and art-in-general lover.
Also into animals, exercising, snorkelling, dancing (dance floor activator and carnival chaser: been to Bolivia's, and Colombia's more than once).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get into the local culture and meet people everywhere I go, share experiences, walk around, taste regional food, go dancing, have some drinks. Now, how do I start meeting friends and getting reviews? I guess I could use some help and good will there.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Successfully babysat my 2-year-old nephew and my 3-month-old niece together for more than two hours (believe me that's a challenge). Now, really: I've had shamanic experiences in Bolivia, talked to God (or some God) and everything.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know English and Italian, some music, some yoga. I know good books to read and bands to listen. I would gladly share that.
And I'll learn what you are you willing to share. I don't want more than what you want to give.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Nice talks over wine (or not), respect, empathy, cooking, watching movies, walking around...
