Hi my name is Santiago Martinez, i´m 26 years old.
I´m from Neuquén city, located in Argentina.
I have just finished my studies in Mechanical Engineering, at Comahue National University.
Now, I'm working in my father´s business related to building, so I´m living with him, with his wife Susana and my youngest sister Rocio. I also have a 29 years old brother, Francisco, and a 24 years old sister called Rosario. But my family doesn't stop here, I have a brother called Jose Maria (18) and a little sister called Paz too (15). My brothers and sisters are my best friends, altough I have a lot of friends more that are considered like my brothers too.
I consider myself as a very sociable and sporty guy, as I play football three times a week with my friends and my exclassmates.
I´m always happy and loocking forward to meeting new people and places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that the better way of learning about a new place, is not only learning about its popular sites, but its people too. I think this app connect people that are keen on travelling and meeting people from all around the world and can support with accommodation.

Music, Movies, and Books

I reaaaaally love listenig to music, I think that if I hadn't liked my career at the beggining, I would have dedicated myself to music definitly. I play the guitar, armonics and a little bit of percutions. I like almost every types of music styles: Rock, Argentine Rock, Jazz, Blues, Reggae, Bossa, Clasical music, etc.
I´m also interested in literature, I love sci-fi books, like Asimov´s or Ray Bradudbury´s, but I read novels and stories of latinamericans authors too.
I´m not a very movie fan, I think that nowdays efects in cinema are amazing but stories and imagination are declining. My favorites movies are Scence of a woman (with Al Pacino), Apocalipsys Now, The goodfather, Stars Wars, among others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was finishing my career, a classmate and I decided to build a brick making machine so as to improve my knowledge learnt at University. It was such a Engineering challenge for us but we could designed and builded it with successfull.
The machine was donated to an ONG which wil provide bricks all around the local area.

Teach, Learn, Share

Argentina has an wide interesting culture which I can share with the host, as well as some life experiences I have lived. I also can share some storys and knowledges I got from my life as a student.
I'm very open minded, so I would be greatful to learn about different cultures and stories from people I cross by chance.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer my friendship and my life experience. I also consider myself as a very responsable, organised and clean person. But I'm also regarded as a great chef and I'll be more than pleased to cook some argentinian dishes.
