Hi! I am a journalist in love with reporting about the people and places I travel to.
Back home I used to host a radio show in the Argentinean State Radio and write for local magazines and newspapers. I am now travelling the world while working freelance.

I have also volunteered for more than 10 years with different international networks and NGOs in the region.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been a couchsurfer for seven years now, and I absolutely love this community! Couchsurfing has been the reason why I have met Middle-Eastern families´ hospitality, learned so much history traveling through Europe, or enjoyed the World Cup in Russia! (Thank you to all of you for making me a part of your stories and letting me share a bit of mine. I am forever grateful)

Couchsurfing is for me a way of life. I want to keep getting to know places throughout the eyes of locals and hope to help people coming to my town to feel the same.

Very happy to be part of this community of travellers :)

Interests

I love to travel (of course!), mostly to get inspired about different ways to look at the world and our human experiences.

And -as any argentinean- I love football and my biggest dream was for Argentina to win the World Cup (We did!)
