Overview
About Me
We are an Argentinean couple who have been on the road for 5 years so far, being the last 2 years doing it together. We've been in several countries, having the luck of soaking ourselves in different cultures, which helped us broaden our perspective when we look at the world. We like to become one with the place we are passing through, we don't want just to put our beliefs in our backpacks and carry them around the world, on the contrary, we prefer to be taught by the place we are visiting, thus, creating a new us.
Traveling became a way of living for us, working or volunteering in different countries, and now, finally, we'd like to give a chance to this platform which has helped many people to connect, beyond cultural barriers.
Somos una pareja de Argentinos que ha estado dando vueltas ya durante 5 años, cada uno por su cuenta al comienzo, y viviendo estos ultimos dos años juntos. Hemos estado en varios paises, teniendo la suerte de poder sumergirnos en la otras culturas, lo que nos ha ayuda a tener una perspectiva mas amplia a la hora de ver el mundo. Queremos que a cada lugar que vamos, un pedazito de este se convierta en nosotros, en vez de andar cargando con nuestras creencias en las mochilas, pereferimos que el lugar en el que estamos nos enseñe, y asi, nos haga una persona nueva.
Viajar se ha convertido en nuestro modo de vida, trabajando y haciendo voluntariados en diferentes paises, y ahora, finalmente, nos gustaria darle una chance a esta plataforma que ha a ayudado a tantos otros a conectarse, mas hallá de las barreras culturales
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
During our travels, the most enriching moments were the ones we got to spent with the people we met while volunteering or on the road, and we'd like to keep meeting new friends (and family) around the world, we hope CS helps us with that.
We are faithful to the mission of living in a way where the money is not the main issue, going beyond that, and knowing that we, as humans, have much better ways of exchanging our capacities, without an economical transaction, but with the joy and passion that sharing with each other creates.
Interests
We are interested in any artistic expression. Bruno plays the guitar and creates his own songs and he also enjoys writing some poetry, Melisa is an actress who loves the different ways one can express with the body. We both enjoy photography, trying to improve our skills in the subject as we take pictures while we move. We are interested in all the different ways of looking at the world, and the different ways of explaining the existence itself.
