Overview
About Me
Currently in Auckland, NZ on my Working Holiday Scheme visa! Looking to hang out and get around with some brand new friends and fellow couchsurfers :)
If you enjoy beer, let me know, we already have something in common!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm on Couchsurfing because travelling's always been on my mind and as much as I'd like to know new places, I'd like to know new people even more.
I look to find local people who can give me some guidance and with whom to share some time with, potentially making a new friend. :)
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Unfortunately I don't have any experience in Couchsurfing, but I'd like to change that around soon enough.
Interests
I am an engineering in computer sciences student, I get along well with most of my college mates and people I meet in general.
Like most argentinians I enjoy playing football, I play any time I get a chance to, with friends or people I don't really know.
I like to play board and card games as they are a great way to gather people and entertain with each other's jokes and anecdotes, get some time together and get to know each other.
I love spending time outside, because of my studies I don't get to travel as much as I would like to, but I'd love to see it all, just pack my bag and travel somewhere.
I have 2 cats, and a dog, I definitely love animals! So if the host has any, great!

Teach, Learn, Share
If you're an english native, I could teach you some spanish, and vice versa.
I'd like to learn about new cultures and people, that's one of the big reasons why I intent to travel by hitchhiking.
New languages are definitely something I'd like to add in the big "learn bucket"
What I Can Share with Hosts
After finishing my studies in computer sciences, I started working as a cook's helper, decided in learning how to cook while saving a little money for my upcoming trip, intending to be able to share a meal with a host, cook/clean and learn about the local food.
