About Me

Hi!!

When I'm visiting a city I like to walk around to spot the hidden places (a nice family restaurant, a local pub, quiet parks) and try to avoid "top things you must do". I am always looking to try for the local beer, wine and cousine. I visit the local history museum and try to find cultural activities, mostly traditional dancing.

I dance tango and balfolk, for which I try to find this kind of events in wherever I go. I will be searching for local music and culture events as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing as it is a great way of knowing people and having non touristic recommendations to places.

Music, Movies, and Books

Tango, The Doors, Joplin, CCR, Queen, Nirvana, Winehouse,...

I can't just list books, I've read plenty, current one is Steppenwolf, last one was art of loving and poetry from Juan Gelman.
Ernesto Sabato would be a writer I cannot avoid mentioning.

Same with movies, I used to be a cinephile before working in front of a screen 8hs a day. I would mention David Lynch as a reference.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I participated as a volunteer in a camp for teenagers

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a modest knowledge on tango history and it's socio cultural background and I am always happy to share this part of my culture, as Pugliese said: "el Tango sera popular o no sera nada".
I like learning local perspective of history from places I visit.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook, even argentinian food. I can teach you tango and would love if you come to a local milonga (social dance) with me.
