Overview
About Me
I'm a very passionate person, I talk a lot about the things I love, which are many.. So you won't get bored with me.
I'm studying hard to get my engineering degree, and on my free time I volunteer in an international youth organization (AIESEC), I'm involved in social projects and this gives me the opportunity to meet a lot of people around the world and interact with different cultures.
I have a big family, and we are very passionate about traveling and living crazy experiences. We've traveled around South America on my dad's car since I'm a baby!
I believe in two things:
1. You don't need a reason to help people.
2. Hakuna matata.
Interesting fact: I was raised as a vegetarian but I've left those baconless years behind me.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books
Music: I'm a big fan of the oldies, love the 60s and the 80s. My favorite band is GnR, seeing them in concert was like heaven.
Books: I read everything, novels, poems, stories, blogs (I write one too, but not ready to share it yet). Science magazines, engineering magazines. I basically read everything that my free time allows me to.
Movies and TV series: LOVE EVERYTHING THERE IS TO WATCH!! Please let's talk GoT, or OITNB and TBBT. I can't get enough of the seventh art. Never missed an Oscar and always try to catch up with international movies. Bucket list: Watch every movie on "The best 1000 movies to watch before you die" list...
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
AFS exchange student for one year in Belgium.
I've traveled with my family 15.000km from Paraguay to Peru, to visit Machu Picchu. Best adventure of my life (so far). Endless stories about the Andes mountains, the salars, the Titicaca lake and the Atacama dessert.
Me and my brothers owned like 15 different kind of pets during our life so far: dogs, iguanas, big parrots, hamsters, fish, tarantulas etc... I love animals and nature.
I swam with wild dolphins in the ocean when I went to Recife, Brasil.
