About Me

NOW IN NORWAY, Venneala, Kristiansand

Sorry travelers, I can't host right now, cus I am traveling! :)

CURRENT MISSION

Been happy every single day in my life, enjoying my family and friends as much as possible and Travelling around the world with the view of a traveller, getting in touch with new cultures and fascinating people!
One Day, complete my travels in the 196 countries

ABOUT ME

I quit to my job in Feb, and I came for half a year to live in Torino, Italy, to live a new experience. So I will try to travel as much as possible to visit the country and neighbor ones.

I consider myself an open-minded person, who loves Travelling and spending time with family and friends. I love learning new things, from a new culture to a language or a sport!
I speak English, Spanish and Portuguese, and I am in my first steps of french and italian.
I have lived in different parts of Argentina, Brazil and for a while in different parts of the world. For a couple of years I have been a world traveller, and I would love to be one again

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We made a group of Cs in my city, couchsurfers necochea, just to share this passion 4 traveling and sharing cultures!

Also I have surfed many couches or received many people, some with Cs but lots of friends of friends or before Cs with another organization called servas, which is an organization for peace in the world.

I have been also for many year cicerones (worldwide greaters), is a volunteering receiving people who are visiting my city 4 free.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All cases were more than amazing, just being able to receive someone in your place, your country gives the chance to see everything in a different perspective, you become a traveller in your own place, and you can make the others love your culture and place as you do.

I also feel the same when I travel and generously I am received for others, this exchanging experience of sharing, not as a tourist, in my trip made me grow, learn a lot and understand how amazing is this planet but not for the beautiful places it has, but for its people!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The last... travel for almost 3 years in 30+ countries in the 5 continents. Enjoy every single day as it is the last. Waking up in the sahara or going to sleep in a little island in puerto rico. Being received for a family in iran and celebrate christmas in a karaoke in japan . Been able to admire the Great Wall and dancing in Asia with the amazing people of those awesome countries. Be at the worldcups in Brazil, germany, japan and russia! And specially be at one match with my dad!... and be in Qatar to see my team, Argentina, champion pg the world. Meeting the gorillas in Rwanda and the great migration in Kenya for sure and flying over it!
Handglide in Rio de Janeiro, 2 Olympics. Walking on a glacier in the argentine Patagonia and in Iceland, and even dancing in the sambodrome in the carnival of rio. How can I forget to be in front of the gorgeous iguazu waterfalls or dancing salsa in the streets of Trinidad Cuba... Backpacking, meeting great people... Enjoying family are the amazing things in my life! So many I can't even mentioned!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my culture, I can show to the ones coming to my place the beauty of my environment. And from those who receive me, I will be fascinated of listening the stories of you land, of your people and family. I am very interested in cultural exchange!

What I Can Share with Hosts

For sure I can offer the best of me to make the time in my place a great one. I like to receive in the way I would like to be received for others.
Sharing stories, showing my place, enjoying to share great time
