About Me

I'm a fun, easygoing and super friendly girl. Love to talk and exchange ideas, travel experiences and curiosities about languages. I really really really enjoy dancing, must be the latin blood. I've been descrived as cheerfull and joyfull, I can say I'm someone you won't feel ashamed introducing your friends to.

I have recently made the jump from strictly surfer to host. And I loved it! My houses have always been a meeting point for me, my friends, my family, mostly everyone. I have had people stayed over at my place several times but this is a whole new experience. Of course I have to mention her, my grandma. She was the best host ever, the rockstar, and I only hope to be at least one tenth of how amazing she was. I learned so much of her and my french "colocs" that I need to put myself on test.

Here is one thing about me, and this is me being super honest. I consider myself a very bad tourist. I don't have the passion for travels, I have no wonderlust whatsoever. The travel bug has never bitten me. Of course I love vacationing, going somewhere new everyonce in a while, but travelling makes me anxious. I hate staying one night in a new place and then jumping on to the next one, it's something I just can't do. If I really like the place, I have the feeling that I want to LIVE there, like settle and stuff. That's why I need to surf couches, to at least have the feeling that I'm not missing out on the best things local know and tourist ignore.

I have a newfound love for outdoors activities that has made me a more wholesome and happy person. Would love to share some hiking, ciclying o trekking with a nice stranger :)

You will certainly hear me talking about the French Alpes. I've done a skiing season there and it blew me away. I love skiing but I think the thing that really sold me to come there was cheese... And the incredibly beautiful landscape. Watching the sun hit the mountains at 8 am while taking the bus to work, assured I was going to be happy all day.

After a few years of nomadism I am now settled in Madrid. And I'm loving it.

Motto: Never say no to ice cream, beer and/or pizza.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I gave a two minute speech at the UN General Assambly :)
I have recently lost 50 kg :P

Teach, Learn, Share

I can cook and I love to do it for others. I can teach you one or two staple crow-pleaseing recipes.
I can teach Spanish/English and I can try and break to you Argentinian lifetime crisis, if that's any interest for you ;)
I will share a mate with you and I will bore your brains out with the pride I get from that tradition and what it means to us.
There are absolutely no limits, no restrictions to what I'm willing to learn. My ultimate desire in life is to be a human sponge.

What I Can Share with Hosts

First: a huge smile and a hug (I'm a hugger)
Second: à beer and a fun and interesting talk
Third: my friendship (very high demand nowadays)
