About Me

SORRY WE CAN'T HOST PEOPLE DURING THIS YEAR (2015)...

CURRENT MISSION
To help people to make a living out of their passions and their talents (this is also the way I make my living and I love to do it, so I wouldn't consider it altruism but the perfect match).

ABOUT ME
Besides my work which I love (I decided to start it up!), I'm also an amateur photographer and piano jazz player.
I also have since 2013 a weekly radio program with some Spanish friends in Brussels, where I can express my sense of humor and play with words in such a way I unfortunately couldn't do in other languages.
I love reading, movies, and to know new places and people all over the world, learning at least some words and details of other cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I started hosting people when I was still in Buenos Aires, Argentina, because I wanted first to give before receiving hospitality. It was a great experience, and then I dared to ask others for their time and sometime their couch in different places. We shared great time together, and a good part of them became friends with which we're still in contact since then.
Now living in Brussels, me and my girlfriend are also open to host people. Unfortunately we had a few bad experiences of people asking to be hosted and then not appearing without even warning. Nevertheless, I still trust people and this platform to make people from all over the world closer.

Interests

Helping others to define what they want to accomplish and to go for it.
Enjoying music, arts, and great moments with friends and people just met in any place.

Music, Movies, and Books

- Music: Music is something I need to live. I learned piano by ear and then took some jazz piano lessons for one year, but love to play any instrument (sorry for your ears..!), any kind of music, so if we have the opportunity to play together, improvising, it would be great!

- Book I am reading now: I will not write it here any more, because I realized that this part became always outdated and sometimes I forget to update my profile... But love to read many authors both literature and essays. Since two years ago, try to read in French so as to improve my language skills at the same time, although some of the authors I read them in Spanish to enjoy their style and every word they decided to write..

- Movies: idem books...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

With OrientaEuro and the company originally founded in Argentina (Desarrollarme.com) we have helped to date more than 1 million people on line, all over the world, to better know themselves, identify their ideal career and find practical ways to achieve it! Sometimes I'm still amazed of reaching so many people with my dream.

Teach, Learn, Share

Can help you re-thinking your professional career and/or dreams, and how to make them work. Well.. it depends on the time we have, but at least I can be a good listener and a creative person to enrich your current vision.
Can cook some good things.
Can teach you or help you practice some Spanish (I was a teacher of Spanish as a Foreign Language for some time).
Can teach some basic (very basic) Tango dance, and some songs too..
