About Me

Currently: living in Sweden since January 2020 :D
During 2019, I fulfilled my dream of traveling around the world (but I still want more! :P).

1) I'm a huge fan of lists. I think they are quite useful.
2) Describing myself is one of the hardest tasks to fulfill in this website.
3) I talk. A LOT. But I know how to enjoy silence as well. Especially if I'm watching a lovely sunset...
4) I love singing and dancing. But I'm not good at neither of them. :P My ukelele "Leo" is my travel companion (I play just for fun and I like learning new songs)
5) I tend to be involved in lots of activities. Time is never enough!
6) I like meeting new people. I believe that everyone has something to offer and that I can learn from others.
7) Discovering new places is one of my favourite hobbies. In Buenos Aires I tried to be a "tourist in my own city" and I enjoyed my home town from a different point of view. When I'm traveling, EVERYTHING is new so I get easily excited about tiny things hahaha Now I am discovering Sweden, my new home =)
8) I like being sincere. I think that being straightforward makes things so much easier. And you can always be honest without being mean :)
9) I love food (who doesn't?). So any recommendations of traditional dishes or where to get the "best something" are welcomed.
10) I'm keen on learning new skills. I've had photography lessons, bartender lessons, barista lessons and even stand up lessons!

Bonus track) I have a YouTube channel (which hasn't been updated in a while...). If you are interested about it, ask me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

"THIS SEEMS COOL!"
A friend of mine was on Couchsurfing while travelling around the world.
I liked the idea of meeting new people (especially from different countries) so I created the account.

"OK. SO MAYBE I CAN BE A HOST :D"
I started on Couchsurfing as a host back at home in Buenos Aires.
I like the idea of a nice talk about our experiences (and our dreams, why not?) and, if it is possible, sharing an activity and having a good time. Random fact: I like to play the "Is this stereotype real?" question game :P

"I GUESS IT'S COOLER TO MEET LOCALS THAN GOING TO A HOTEL"
When I'm traveling, I like the idea of staying at a local's place rather than in a hotel room. :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I always feel this is incomplete and that I can't cover the whole spectrum of what I like. xD

Let's say that I don't like horror movies.
I LOVE getting musical recommendations.
