About Me

Born in Miami, from Argentinian family, raised in Spain and been living in Israel for over 8 years. Now? Trying to figure out where I want to settle next

After serving as a sergeant at a combat unit in the IDF, I travelled all over Europe with CS and hostels. From Norway to Italy, hiked most of the time, and then trained in between. Unforgettable experience!

I love trying and learning new things; for example, a few months ago I randomly enrolled into an International Humanitarian Law competition. Pretty hectic months learning from scratch… but hey! Got a sponsorship to go to Mexico and enjoy endless margaritas

I am also one of the co-founders of an NGL called Trashtag Revolution; based in Israel, we run multiple projects such as educational programs and research on waste management through a mobile app.

Nowadays I have turned the opportunity of coming to NY for a short program into a few-months-trip working remotely.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hotel rooms are just furniture, Couchsurfing allows us to get a new perspective and expand our knowledge on the countries we visit.

Interests

Addicted to breaking routine with adventures. It can go from joining a Brazilian dance festival in a different country after meeting a professor in a train, to going to watch sunset at a new spot every weekend.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A few hours after landing in Bergen (Norway), I meet this group of Israeli guys as they laugh at me for being tired thinking I can’t understand them. 4h later, I have joined their road-trip and end up hiking 30km under awful weather to see Trolltunga. As we reach the viewpoint, the sky clears up and we enjoy the most astonishing landscape.

I can teach you how to make the best Spanish sangria, Israeli shakshuka and the best Argentinian bbq
