I'm an International Relations graduate working as an Account Strategist at Google. I love sports, traveling and technology. During the last years of my life, apart from my core job, I worked as photographer and I volunteered for different social causes.

When I was in high school, with my family we decided to host an exchange student (with AFS) from Norway during 1 year. It was one of the most important experiences of my life. After that, the US Department of State chose me to participate in the Youth Ambassadors Program, a fully funded experience in the United States for young leaders. Some years later, they chose me again to participate in the same program, but this time as the group’s mentor. In 2017 I participate in a two-months intensive program in Spain for young leaders interested in the public sector.

En 2019 I was selected by the British Government to be the first argentine on history to do a cultural exchange in Malvinas Islands, in the South Atlantic Ocean. This territory has been in dispute between Argentina and UK for the last 186 years. Newspapers from all over the country interview me for this, and important politicians publicly claimed their opinions about my trip.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I visit a country, I want to meet local people. In order to get to know well a country, I just can’t think about being in a hotel! I want to experience what locals experience every day. So that’s why I decided to join couchsurfing.
