Hi there, I'm Renata! I was born and lived in Argentina during my 29 years of life. I will be staying in Japan one year, starting on April 30th. My desire is to travel throughout the country to get to know its people, culture language, and to help in making the world a better place. I am interested in exploring the big cities, but also learning farming/harvesting and interacting with animals, as I prefer being in contact with nature. I own three cats (I am missing them already!) I am an English translator who loves pottery/ceramics, cooking and embroidery.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to explore other ways of living, thinking and open up each other's worlds

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I enjoy listening to many types of music. Currently, my most-listened artists have been Khruangbin (US), Salvapantallas (AR) and Ases Falsos (CL).
Books: I am a slow reader! My last read books include Nietzsche (DE), Steinbeck (US), and Hess (DE) pieces, which I have very much enjoyed. Currently I am reading one by Mishima Yukio.
Movies directed by: Kim-Ki-Duk, Thomas Vinterberg, Thomas Anders Jensen, Susanne Bier
