CURRENT MISSION

Know the world eating pizza. For now is just know Europe eating pizza.

ABOUT ME

I'm argentinian, in a family with an italian influence. I'm studying something since I have memory. Sense of humour may be a key on me. I like to talk but I also learned to enjoy the silence(of Depeche Mode).

PHILOSOPHY

"Always look at the bright side of life..." >Monty Python

Everybody has something to teach even if they think they don't know nothing and specially if you think you know more than them. To learn new things, listening a lot and just keep going. Nothing is too bad or too good. I'm looking to find equilibrium, kind of zen, but not.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Unfortunately I have none experience. It's something I was going to do time ago, but I didn't. Now it's something I have to live, it feels like is the kind of trip I need to do. I'm hoping in a few years to have a nice place to receive some couchsurfers!

Interests

Music(playing, jaming and listening), love to go to gigs, any live music it's a place to be.
Reading
Science, Informatics, trying to understand a little bit more about how the living and the non living things works. I believe that to transmit knowledge is as important as dicoverying.
Sports(specially Bascketball, Futbol, Volleyball) like to discuss about every sport like if I'm a professional coach.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

no unbelievable things to report, till now.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn all the time and about a lot of things(impossible to enumerate). Some cooking secrets would be very nice, history, traditions, political and philosofical points of views.

Teach? I can try to teach about anything I know, it depends. Learning and teaching sometimes are almost the same thing. Teach learning and learn teaching. Some basic things of Science.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good talk, someone who wants to learn if you want to teach, companion,
help, if there is time to do it, I don't know... like moving big furniture, making mate(argentinian infusion) or do some cleaning.
And if it's necessary I can be a Ninja too.
