About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"Todo lo que existe nace sin un proposito, se extiende por debilidad y muere por casualidad" - /Insert translation here/

ABOUT ME

Living in Buenos Aires, life is crazy and wrinkles are inevitable, so I may look like 35... But I`m a 28 lawyer (and a bit of a teacher too) that have many different jobs so far, saving up money to travel around. Currently settled in BA, looking forward to next adventure.

Cheers!

PHILOSOPHY

I have always believed that the body and the mind can be in two completely different places, and dedicate yourself to get those two together again, might take a lifetime, but is definitely worthy as you see behind the path you took, and enjoy the one you are walking now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When you couchsurf, there are two people and cultures involved, and that is how I participate, by proudly explaining my own, and happily taking in every little piece there is from the other one.

Interests

I love reading pretty much everything, debating about anything at all (cockroaches inevitably conquering the world, ancient history or how come sausages comes in 10 packs and breads in 6 unit bags).
hang out with old and new friends, just having a coffe or go for a drink, thinking about today and sharing stories, laughs and sorrows.
Biggest interest now, is definitly travelling, and check out the world to find where I belong.
