Hi there! I'm Nacho, from Argentina. I'm a writer (or wannabe) who wants to learn as much as possible from such a huge world. Hungry for knowledge, adventures and new things.

(PADI AOW) diver.
Worked as a tour guide in two different cities in two different countries, organized the first and only free walking tours in both places. But never done so in my own country. Yet.
Met Novak Djokovic, Brandon Flowers and Joss Stone (not the same day).
Got a pretty cool book from a school in Pripyat, with nice maps.
Rovaniemi's Santa Claus claims he knows my hometown. I'm sure he does. Cool guy.
I'm usually the one with the weirdest passport on the bus.

On the road since early 2016.
Currently studying Eastern European and Eurasian Studies and about to settle down in Tbilisi.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To travel beyond tourists do, meet new people, learn, ask, share, tell, know, find.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like classic rock, from Chuck Berry to Led Zeppelin, but I also love 90's indie, the brit pop I grew up with, and also the late 80s and early 90s pop.

Give me two: dive in the Red Sea, drive a snowmobile on a frozen river in Finland.
