About Me

I´m a filmmaker. Director, producer, camerawoman and video editor, mate drinker and solo travel enthusiast

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I began questioning traditions and beliefs I found cultural exchange rewarding, my friend was a guest of CS and I learned a lot from our experiences with visitors. CS has the beautiful part of traveling that is not in museums or landscapes, which is coexistence with people who love their city and the loving and respectful exchange that is generated. I also see in the tourist cities of my country that tourism is not respectful but rather a mass trade that displaces locals and mistreats historical spaces. I try to get to know the world avoiding being part of that.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music, I like almost everything that is between metallica and bach, from Deftones to Piazzolla. I can listen to Rob Zombie, then 30 minutes meditation with Tibetan bowls and then cumbia party.

My favourite movies are A Ciambra, A ghost story... The song of the sea (I saw it a thousand times and I always cry)...
I love Alejandro Dolina's books, do you know him?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Shoot a documentary in Salta, north of Argentina, 48º in a village with no drinkable water, lunch was hot spicy empanadas with sangría wine, my camera stop working because of the heat. Best day ever.
Went snowboarding dressed as a unicorn. Also went to the airport to pick up a friend as a unicorn.
Walk on the ice of glaciar Perito Moreno, but in normal clothes.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Tango basics, argentinian cooking, I can also help you to find aromas and flavors in whisky, and how to do a nice mate ("don't move the straw" and other hacks). Learn new ways, and share time, jokes and different perspectives.
