Overview
About Me
I'm a simple man who enjoys living, I believe that life on earth is a gift and we need to make the most of it. Sometimes people tend to forget that life is ephemeral and get themselves caught in the "rat race" . Life is to be lived, to make the most out of it , to fill it with the most beautiful and awesome memories possible.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
As I said before life is to make the most out of it by doing the things you love. I love to meet people from all over the world, I love to learn from them. I enjoy hearing their life, their stories , their way of thinking, exchanging thoughts, books, films, a game of chess, table games, cards, dice, trying their favourite food, helping them cook, cooking them our typical foods, trying to learn their language, teaching them mine, having a laugh, drinking some wine, walking on their city looking through their eyes, going to a museum, going out partying, taking it all in. This is one of the things that brings happiness to my life. This is the main reason I'm here for, to share.
Interests
As a guest, I'm respectful, keeping everything tidy and clean. I like to share some Argentinian wine which I carry with me for special occasions. I like to cook my hosts a nice meal or two. Share them dulce de leche, or panqueques as dessert. Maybe even baking a cake, I care for them to have a great time and a wonderful experience with great enthusiasm and lots of gratitude

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have a friend that got famous in one of this talent shows on Tv in Argentina. One time he had a Gig in front of 5000 people, and invited me to pretend to play guitar on stage, I was shaking, had 4 glasses of vodka with orange juice in 3 minutes in order to gain "dutch courage". Played "american woman" on his guitar without having a clue how to do a single chord, not even Do, Sol or Fa, nothing. I was so nervous that I sliced my finger with the first string and splashed his acoustic guitar with blood. I only found out when the song ended and I saw my finger was bleeding. I remember thinking wtf, with the adrenaline of "being a rockstar for 4 minutes" I couldn't feel a thing . He never washed the guitar to this day cause he says it's a great memory to have on his guitar. I uploaded two pictures of that night. one before playing, and one whilst "playing" u can note the fear on my face lol
