About Me

Hello there, my name is Roy and I was born in Argentina in 1992. I live in Germany since 2010. Here I studied "Media Informatics" at the University of Applied Sciences of Cologne. Now I am working in the video production at a company, and I am a photographer and filmmaker. Most of the time I am walking around through the streets making street photography.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I love to travel. Oh my god, what a cliche answer... Let me think about something better.
Yes, I have it. I am on Couchsurfing because I love meeting new people and hearing their stories. I have also used AirBnb a lot, but the community on Couchsurfing is different.
I am living at a student residence in Köln, with people from all over the world. In these years I not only learnt to be more tolerant with other cultures but also to understand how incredible and diverse people can be.

Interests

As I wrote it above, I spend most of my time behind the camera, either making photos or videos. I love people, so I focus on portrait photography and on street photography as well.
I also play piano and last year I started to play ukulele and guitar. I suck at it, but I still keep on trying!
I dance Salsa, Bachata and a little bit of Kizomba. I used to also dance Tango, but I forgot a lot...
What else... What else...? I love to travel, yeah. Did I mention it already? Oh, fuck, wait... Something more interesting... Hmm... Sport maybe? Snowboard. Yeah! That's it! Snowboard is awesome (even tough I then spend most of the time falling and eating snow).
But my biggest interest: people and culture!
