About Me

Hi everyone :) I'm a 24 y.o. girl from Argentina (in the picture I'm the one with long hair and no beard, the other person is my lovely boyfriend, just in case you get confused)
We're passionate travelers that would love to meet people from all over the world. We've travelled around Australia and New Zealand under a W&H visa scheme and it was an amazing exprience; we've travelled South East Asia for 5 months and also did a bit of travelling around South America (on 2017 we visited Patagonia for the first time!)
About our occupation I've my bachelor's degree in tourism and have always worked as a hotel receptionist (wich is a cool job to meet all kinds of people; from the most experienced traveler to the horrible grumpy business person who can't seem to remember how to smile). I've lots of stories about my job and I really love what I do; the possibility of dedicating my time to this career outside Argentina is the best experience I've ever had :)
About Federico, my boyfriend, he studied hotel management and has had lots of work experiences in the most diverse places (from a fancy 5 stars hotel to a mini market where we could eat candy all day). He's also a certificated sommelier, so he can always recommend good wine.

When we travel we write and take pictures, you can see what we do in our website: http://destinadosaviajar.com
I do apologize because it's only in spanish at the moment but it's a recent proyect. Our main goal with this website is to show argentinians a different way to travel, where there are no tours or guides just a map and good people to meet on the way. Hope you can be part of our trip hostig us or showing us around your city, it's very important to us to meet locals in order to make the most of our trips.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm couchsurfing because I want to meet friends all over the world, stay with locals and share good travel memories. In the future, when I go back to Argentina, I'd love to host foreigners and show them my city and culture.

Interests

I have a very bad addiction to books; I love them and simply can't live without them :)
I also enjoy cooking (don't get too excited, I'm vegetarian and keen on experimenting with vegan recipes); watching series, movies and documentaries; riding a bike and of course exploring new places! I love history so I'm interested in visiting museums, monuments and art galleries.
Don't worry, I'm not a full time geek, I also enjoy drinking a beer in a bar :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I like a lot of different things :) my fav band is Steely Dan, I love old music.

Books: I love sci-fi, my fav author is Bradbury.
