ABOUT ME

My name is Maria but everybody calls me Mery. I was born in Rosario, one of the biggest cities in Argentina. I am a chemical engineer and a pastry chef. I love cats! Specially my love Indigo (my siamés cat who is still in Argentina with the rest of my family). Currently I’m traveling around Asia with my boyfriend Gaston, after living for 8 months in New Zealand.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To learn from other people’s culture and countries from themselves. It is mostly people that make the difference in a trip for me.

Interests

The main purpose of this trip is to meet new people, from different countries and cultures, to learn from that and to share a little bit of our beautiful Argentinian culture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bungee jumping - was amazing! But I would never done it again. Hahah!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have 2 passions: traveling and food. And as I am a graduated chef (though I prefer pastry), I would be pleased to share some homemade treats and recipes with you :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can share some mate, the traditional drink from Argentina. If you haven’t try it before and you like tea, you’ll definitely love it! Apart from being a drink, it is an important part of our culture and there is always a good time for drinking mate.
