I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina but I lived in the US for 15 years, so my accent is mostly American. My heritage is mostly Italian, but also Spanish and Norwegian. I'm really proud of my Norwegian heritage, especially since I'm the direct descendant of one of the Norwegian founding fathers, who designed the flag.

I've lived in Mexico, France, Uruguay, Italy, Spain, and the UK. I've also travelled to enough countries to the point where I've lost track, much of it solo and via couchsurfing

I'm a career artist and make money from selling art commissions and freelance web design. I want to start a Youtube Channel on artistic activism to help activists become more effective by being creative. I'm also working on publishing a book on creative activism, Beyond Raising Awareness, but recent life circumstances are forcing me to change the publication date.

I'm also really into fitness and would love to go workout (especially weightlifting and powerlifting.)

I'm vegan for the animals :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I moved to Plymouth, UK to get my Masters in Arts last year. While I've loved my masters program, I've had a hard time adjusting to life outside a big city. Originally, I was planning on staying for next year, but apparently I don't need a second masters degree since I am applying for PhD programs. Basically, that means I don't have a place to stay past September. For a number of reasons, I need to stay in the EU and Berlin just seems like my best option right now.

I haven't had much time to plan out this move so I'm just going to go couchsurfing in Berlin and figure it out. I'll find a job or get enough commissions to be able to pay rent and feed myself. Right now I could definitely use a bit of extra help from some fellow couchsurfers :)

Interests

Art, traveling, meeting cool people, politics, philosophy, veganism, immigrant rights, animal rights

I will mention now that I'm extremely opinionated when it comes to politics and basically left the US because I couldn't stop arguing with every Trump supporter I met. If you like Trump, I should not stay at your place.

I listen to reggaeton really any chance I get.

I read a lot. My favorite book is Game Changers by Dave Asprey

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 16, my dad got a job in Mexico and I decided very last minute to move with him. I went the next day to my school and told them I was going to start school in Mexico in two weeks. We packed up our bags and just drove off to Monterrey.

While in Mexico, I audited a full year of university courses at my dad's university (Universidad de Monterrey) before I started applying to universities.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about art, politics, vegan cooking, or working out.

I love cooking and would love to cook vegan food for you while I'm here. I'd be more than happy to buy the ingredients too.

I'm also the type of person that likes to contribute, especially while people are being generous by giving me a place to stay. Please let me know if you need anything done around your place. I'd be more than happy to fold and iron your clothes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm really good at having insightful conversations and everyone loves my vegan cooking. I also know how to start a party, can make you a drawing (if I have time), and can tell you a whole lot of crazy stories about my various adventures.

I also love to workout and can push you to the point where your arms feel like jello from doing so many pushups.
