About Me

Studied Economics and worked about a year before i took some time off and figured what i wanted to do. Didn't want to spend my life in front of a computer doing something i didn't like and didn't care for. Wanted to try something totally new to me. Have been bitten by the travel bug and would love to travel the world as much as possible. Left Argentina at the end of 2015 and have been touring a bit around Asia and working in Australia and New Zealand. So far i'm really enjoying it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love to meet new people and make friends from all over the world, get to know people from different cultures. I really enjoy hostels but sometimes i want to stay at different places where there is not too much partying and have a more personal experience. That's where i think couchsurfing is really helpful.

Interests

Enjoy playing sports and doing exercise. Like to explore places and get in touch with nature.

Music, Movies, and Books

Punk Rock! Everyone says since I am a relaxed and easy going guy that i don't look like one who listens to punk, heavy rock and metal. When I tell them my favorite music style they are always amazed by that. But i can listen to most styles of music as well.
Comedy films are the best. Classics like Dumb and Dumber, Ace Ventura, old Adam Sandler movies, Scary Movie, anything with Will Ferrell will be good. Sometimes i also like to watch a cheese romantic film or a horror film. Enjoy watching nature and environmental documentaries.
I don't read much, never did. Maybe because i find it hard to stay focused at the same book for more than half and hour straight. I read many internet articles or posts though. Specially if they are about social or environmental issues, food and sports.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Leave the comfort of my house, family and friends to come by myself to an unknown part of the world to me, far away from everything, with no plans and very little idea of how i was going to manage. Turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life. I'm meeting many beautiful people and also getting to know myself. Do things that i never would have imagined. Getting so many kind of different jobs.

Teach, Learn, Share

Living in a more relaxed and simple style, not worrying about material or superficial matters. Enjoy the basic things in life that we often take for granted.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Share good moments, experiences, laughs, cooking and going out and exploring places together.
