Hi everybody! My name's Yamila from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
I'm an enterprising young woman, proactive, willing to learn, and grow. I dream of learning about other cultures and have the chance to teach about mine.
My family comes from italy and spain, so I've learnt to love diversity and respect different traditions. Since I was a little girl I've been taught foundational values, there's one only thing that really counts and this is to share, respect and value what others do. Being able to put yourself in other people' shoes gives you a valuable perspective that will change your life for better.
I like to socialise, work in teams, teach and learn in all I do. I love music since I was a little girl. This is a passion I treasure as it has become a way to feel relaxed wherever I go. I drink "mate" ( kind of argentinian tea), share time with friends or ride my bike. I also swim to forget about routine and relax.
I studied and graduated from the University of Buenos Aires with the title of Textile Designer, although I also dedicate myself to photography. It's a passion I have for several years
My main goal is to find happiness. My main pilar, my family. We are 2 sisters. I miss them a lot, but I know they understand me and share my happiness in the distance.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've heard wonderful comments on this style of travelling, as it opens doors to meet new people and spend little money on trips.
I am not alone in this adventure as my friend Maria Jose is coming with me this time. We met in new zealand and we are friends since then, sharing the same values and goals.
Unfortunately, we do not have many references to offer as we are new at this, but we hope to have the chance to meet you and share valuable experiences soon.
