ABOUT ME

I was born in Rosario Argentina, but grew up mostly in Canada and in the U.S. I joined couch surfing last year thinking that I would use it on my trip to Europe in July...but I ended up doing HelpEx at a farm in Dozza Italy instead. Still, I don't want to give up on the idea of staying on a total stranger's couch even if I was meant to be a farmer. I gotta try everything at least once.

I'm currently getting a second B.A. in molecular biology, and absolutely love it. I wasn't ready to settle for a boring office job. I would have loved to be a physicist, but I suck at math.

While I do enjoy leisurely vacations, when I do get an extended period of time I like to focus on productive experiences such as volunteering, traveling, or even taking a class in music or language. The busier I am, the better.

PHILOSOPHY

I live by the Golden Rule of treating others the way I want to be treated.

I also think people are the best resources for learning new skills and so I always try to pick knowledge from the interesting people that I meet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The fact that I'm alive and healthy in this day and age is amazing enough for me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think I would make a great Spanish or English language teacher. I enjoy all kinds of topics which is a blessing and a curse. For one, I can have a conversation about most topics from literature to the sciences...on the other hand, my vast interests keep me from actually becoming an expert in anything.
