Hey! I’m 28, born in Paraguay but raised in Argentina—basically, I’ve lived my whole life here. I grew up in the countryside, so nature and animals are a big part of who I am 🌿🐶. I moved to Buenos Aires to study Tourism & Hospitality at UADE, and now I work in Marketing for a major beverage company, managing eCommerce and Digital Transformation.

In my free time, I’m usually outdoors, playing with my dachshund, hanging out with friends over padel or tennis matches, sipping mate, going to the movies, or grabbing a drink at a bar or a good coffee at a cozy café ☕️. Oh, and I’ve been a handball referee for over 10 years 🤾🏽‍♂️ — it’s my second job and something I love.

I’d say I’m a cheerful, easygoing guy who enjoys good conversations, new cultures, and sharing simple moments with people from all over.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling solo and meeting new people in every place I visit. Couchsurfing gives me the chance to connect with locals, share stories, learn about their culture — and of course, make new friends from all over the world 🌍.

I also want to give back to the community by hosting travelers in my home whenever I can. If you come to Argentina, I’d love to offer you a comfy bed, a warm shower, some homemade food, and a traditional mate or tereré 🧉. Nothing beats sharing moments with people from different cultures, laughing, and creating memories that last.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

• Road-tripped for days across Argentina and Chile, exploring province after province 🚗
• Ziplining, rafting, trekking to mountain peaks — and yes, I jumped out of a plane too! ⛰️🪂
• Currently training to become an international mountain guide, aiming for 6,000 and 8,000-meter summits someday 🏔️
• Tasted traditional dishes from many cultures — some amazing, some… unforgettable! 🍲
• Connected with people from totally different worlds, beliefs, and languages. Sometimes we barely understood each other, but we laughed a lot anyway haha 🌎
• Every mountain, every meal, and every moment shared with strangers who became friends — that’s the good stuff.

What I Can Share with Hosts

First of all, I truly value mutual respect and privacy—I’m very mindful, well-mannered, and always make sure to be a considerate guest 🤝.

Beyond that, I love building real connections: sharing stories, laughing over a coffee, a cold beer, or a glass of wine ☕️🍷, and just getting to know each other. If you’re more in the mood for something chill, I totally get that too. I adapt easily to whatever vibe feels right in the moment.

I’m also passionate about cooking! 👨🏽‍🍳 I enjoy preparing traditional dishes from different countries, and if you have a favorite meal, I’d be happy to cook it as a thank-you. I’ve got some wild travel stories — and probably even more funny ones (no spoilers just yet haha) 😂.
