ABOUT ME

Currently I'm travelling, but at home I live with my dog close to Buenos Aires. In a little city called Hudson.
I think I'm just someone who loves travelling, having a nice conversation, and other simple pleasures.

I think it' difficult to talk about yourself and describe your personality. Instead I prefer to say what I've done and and wich are mi interests today.

Recently, I became really interested in Permaculture. That is basically a more sustainable way of living, and last year I started to do some gardening in my backyard. I found it very enjoyable and relaxing, besides the fact that you are producing your own healthy food. I spend three weeks in a permaculture farm in the south of France, and the one month in another one in Germany, looking for learning more about it!


Now, besides going to the main cities, I'm interested also about going to more rural areas. And volunteering is a good way that I found to do that, and to stay longer in a place.

Hitchhiking is for me the more interesting, unpredictable, funny, and cheap way of travelling. I've done many trips this way in Argentina and one trip in Latinoamerica. I think travelling in general is more about the people that you can meet, than the places. So, slow travelling seems to be for me the more interesting and transforming way to do it.

When I was younger I discovered my first passion: the Shootingsport! It made me grow as a person, and also allowed me to travel to international competitions in South and Cental America, and also Europe.

Photography is something that I really enjoy too:

About my profession, I'm a psychologist but I didn't work yet in that field. That would be after this trip!

La suerte es amiga de la acción!
