ABOUT ME

Personal background:
I'm 23 years old and I've borned in Rosario, Argentine.
I lived half of live in Funes, an small city (at that moment) next to Rosario. Over there, I passed a great time because the city was small and I used to play with my friends just in the street.
Then, when I was 12 years old I moved to Rosario with my family. I finished the college and I started studying Civil Engineering.
After four years of studies, I got an Scholarship and I moved to Lyon (France). Then, I'll back in Argentine and I'll see what's coming next ^^

Key-words ^^ :
friendly, open-minded and respectful

PHILOSOPHY

“The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.” - Christopfer McCandless

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

At the begining, everything was a kind of weird for me: sending a request message to a completely strange person that you've never seen, waiting for his/her answer and finally meeting that person, but then I enjoyed a lot. I think that CS experiences can be a little awkward at the begining but then, everything goes well and everyone enjoy with the experience.
I've surfed one time in Grenoble and I've also hosted two guys in my place, here in Lyon. All my experiencies were really fruitful and I've always passed a good time.

Interests

I love to travel: meet other cultures, be in the nature, discover beautiful landscapes and enjoy city life.
I love cultures and history too. Having a good conversation about languages, history or culture is always great for me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm really proud of my travels. I think that being two times in the Patagonia (Argentina) with my closest friends and travelling to Peru with my girlfriend and other friends were one of the best things I’ve ever done.
Also, travel to France… It’s impossible to describe how incredible is the experience of living so far away of my own country. Being immersed in a foreign language, culture,… is totally rewarding!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach?.. Spanish,... cooking (?), haha.
