About Me

Howdy, y'all! ¡Hola! Привет! Bonjour !

Hey, guys, I’m totally new to this Couchsurfing world, but there goes the reason why I’m here... (see the right section)
P.S. I’m sorry if I reply late, that's not you, that's busy me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Below you can see the old pre-COVID-19 info, which I'm gonna leave as a memento. A lot has changed since then, but I'm still always open to meet new amazing people, share my culture with them and learn something new about theirs. I'm also a fan of foreign languages and eager to acquire as much knowledge as I can!

The thing is that in the beginning of January I’m going to Utah for about four-five months to study there as a university exchange student. But on my way to Utah I’m planning to stop in NYC and explore it (actually it would be my second time in the Big Apple, but the first one was 7 years ago, so I would love to remind myself of this amazing place and experience new things!). It would be wonderful to meet people from different parts of our planet and also locals, because I would like to try being a local myself for some time and see the city from such a perspective, so maybe you could help me :)
Thanks a lot in advance!
P.S. Oh yes, I didn’t mention I’m most likely coming in the end of December and going to Utah literally the first days of 2020 (Looks like I will be welcoming this brand new and looking amazing year in NYC!). Anyone to share the moment of the special holiday?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was an exchange student in a small town in Texas when I was 16. Then, during my undergraduate studies, I attended university in Granada, Spain and did a summer course of Italian in Udine, Utaly.
Volunteered at Confederations Cup 2017 and World Cup 2018 (got to accompany the whole national football team of Argentina!).
I’m a tour guide in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

Teach, Learn, Share

What I Can Share with Hosts

My dear hosts, I could teach you some Russian (obviously) and Spanish, cook something traditional for you, talk to you basically about anything in the world and, of course, tell you something interesting about my country and my culture. Let's break the stereotypes together!

P.S. SPOILER
My host is definitely going to get something from Russia :)
