About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Suffering and enjoying my life in China

ABOUT ME

Que decir de mi? Recientemente me mudé a Shenzhen, China, luego de haber estado viviendo un año en el norte de China, aprendiendo chino mandarin en la Universidad de Jilin, me gusta mucho esta ciudad, me gusta el movimiento, las luces, la gente, la diversidad de culturas, sobre todo en la zona que vivo. Soy bastante social, disfruto mucho de salir con amigos, charlar, caminar, conocer gente nueva siempre es divertido. In doors, me gusta cocinar para invitados, aunque el delibery siempre es buena opción. El cine me encanta asi que disfruto mucho de ver films, ya sea en el cine o en la casa, tengo una buena colección de películas.
Soy bastante extrovertida y directa, la comunicación es la base de las buenas relaciones. Me gustaría viajar por el mundo pero en estos momento eso parece algo muy dificil, entonces por ahora sólo disfruto de CS conociendo gente de todos lados : )

*******************************************************

I`m a very openminded, outgoing and a happy person. Honesty is very important to me. Only speaking, people can be helped.
I love to collect new experiences and I would like to see most of the world. I love to talk with people from different cultures and share my and their experiences. I'll never stop to learn something new.

I was a volunteer in AFS, a intercutural exchange association a few years ago and I love it, My work was to find host families for the children.
I found very interesting to learn about all different cultures. I´ve met people from many countries and then I though it´s time I leave on a trip around the world, it wasn't around the world, at least not yet, but I came to China a year ago and I'm planning to stay here for a while. This is a country that always is surprising me, so big, so modern, so traditional, is everything at the same time and I love that.

PHILOSOPHY

"Los hombres no se doblegan a los angeles ni a la muerte si no es por la flaqueza de su debil voluntad"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Now I'm living alone so maybe I can be your host :)

Interests

Todo lo que tenga que ver con el arte, películas, música, la pintura me gusta mucho, por ahora estoy indagando en el surrealismo pop.
Creo que conocer gente es lo más importante, por eso estamos acá, no? Disfruto mucho de salir a caminar, tomar un café o recorrer las ferias de libros, me gusta comer en los puestos de comida para llevar, sobre todo los del barrio chino pero tambien disfruto una buena comida casera.

*******************************************************

I love entertaining new and old friends at home. There's nothing like good weather, good food, good wine, and good people.

I love spending time waching movies and listening to good music

Music, Movies, and Books

Libros
Todo Cortázar, mi preferido, García Marquez, Di Benedetto, Benedetti, Arlt, Saramago, Restrepo, Bioy Casares, Alan Pauls, Tomas Eloy Martinez, Tolstoi, Dostoievski, Chejov, Kafka, Faulkner, Alejandro Dolina, Stieg Larsson, Murakami, Kenzaburo Oe, Kobayashi Takiji, tantos y tantos más...

Films
Lately I saw "submarino" from denmark, "Noviembre" a spanish film, highly recommended, "El infierno" a mexican film about the mexican cartel. I saw "blue valentine" with Ryan Gosling, It was ok but with a very subjective point a view where the woman was hideous and the husband was almost perfect. I saw "127 hours" (great) "Berlin calling" and from that moment a fell in love with Paul Kalkbrenner, I saw "black swan" and I loved, maybe because I love Aronofsky and "Requiem for a dream", "The wrestler". Another movie I think is highly recommended is "Exit through the gift shop" by Bansky perfect movie for those who like street art, and for those who wonder: What is art? Wicth is the price of art? Is art a trend? Love movies as Cidade de Deus, all Tarantino´s films, Gus Van Sant, Almodovar, Hitchcock, Lars Von Trier. Podría seguir así por horas....

Music ...it always depends what mood I am in. I like listening anything from Radiohead to Gogol Bordello to Swedish music to Tango.
I love bands like Sigur Ros, Depeche Mode, Artics Monkeys, The chemical Brothers, Lacrimosa, Bajo Fondo Tango Club, Amiina, Muchachito Bombo Infierno, Placebo, Muse, Morcheeba, Laleh, Portishead, The Cure, Vuk, Yelle, The Mars Volta, girls singers like, Björk, Lykke Li, PJ Harvey, La Mala Rodriguez, Carla Bruni, Amy Winehouse, etc. Men singers as James Blake, Antony from Antony and the Johnsons, Richard Ashcroft, Caetano Veloso, Jorge Drexler, Yamasaki Masayoshi

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Pasé un par de noches en un pequeño pueblo a 4 hs de la capital de San Juan y fueron las noches más hermosas, tranquilas y breathtaking que viví, el cielo era casi negro y parecía que podía tocar las estrellas con las manos, el sonido de la naturaleza es mejor que la música en esas situaciones.
