About Me

I'm a very chatty and friendly person with a good sense of humour. I like to share interesting conversations with people about many different themes... Bizarre and nonesense are also welcome.

One particular thing is that I have a huge family... we are 6 siblings spread all over the world, each one unique in their own. So I'm used to sharing and to being in contact with abroad.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I've realized that those places I liked the most were not those I went just to do some tourism but those where I spent time with locals talking and learning a lot of things.

Interests

My passions are mainly music and everything related to urbanism. The first is the means through which I discover myself and what always astonishes me... It's about introspection. The second is how I like to discover the world and its people and what pushes me to make it a nicer place...

Besides music and films, I am also a huge nerd of 80s and 8 and 16 bit videogames.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: "Blade Runner" ("Tears in Rain" soliloquy has to be the best scene in cinema), "Do The Right Thing" (intense), "Happy Together" (great music score and photography) , "Return of the Living Dead" (what would be life without movies of 80s dumb and stereotyped kids and zombies?), "Esperando la Carroza" (hilarious Argentinian comedy), so many...

Plus "Seinfeld" is the best TV programme ever.

Music: there's no genre I don't like, I think artists are unique themselves... but I'd say I'm really into rock and experimental music from North America, Great Britain and Iceland!! Some musicians I like are Pearl Jam, Múm, Cocteau Twins, David Bowie, Iron Maiden, Julee Cruise, Labradford, Manic Street Preachers, The Sugarcubes (and every band related to Björk, Iceland is so tiny), Television, Temple of the Dog, Cyndi Lauper (my pop idol)... I also like some tango and cumbia.

Books: "Metamorphosis" by Kafka and "The Chronicles of Narnia" by Lewis... these are books that really caught me when growing up but I don't have specific favorites.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

All of a sudden, I decided to spend a semester as an exchange student in Brazil where I lived with 14 lovely Brazilians in a house and never got bored. I returned back to visit them several times. I have also went to Tanzania to do some research, a place I thought I would never go.

Teach, Learn, Share

Besides sharing a lot of stories and trivia about Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil (personal and not personal), I may be handy teaching some useful Spanish and Portuguese, the languages of my Latin America. I'm not a good coker but certainly not a bad either.
