CURRENT MISSION

Interested to climb mountains all around the world, especially in The Andes and The Himalayas. Get to know each culture in the cities I visit for trekking/climbing, also to experience joy meeting other travellers and listening to their stories.

ABOUT ME

I'm an introverted person in some ways, perfectionist and very demanding of myself and others. I feel in urge to share my knowledge in every field of my experience to help others. Almost two years ago a harsh event changed my life and now I'm eager towards nature, hiking and mountain climbing ever since to meet myself while contemplating the landscapes around me.

PHILOSOPHY

My life philosophy right now is to accomplish several mountain climbing challenges so I can get sponsorship to pursue my dream of being the first climber to do the Seven Second Summits.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have always given advices to travellers for cities and countries I have visited. To join CS is to expand this to the whole community. To meet other travellers and exchange experiences. Right now I'm not hosting because I can't but I will in a near future. For everything related to my country just contact me and I can get you information about anything as I'm starting a new project for trekking and travelling in my country.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Right now no CS experiences so far. I've always been a hostel and camping guy, since I always travel alone.

Interests

I'm interested in Mountain Climbing, Trekking, Philosophy, Architecture. My favourite place to have vacations is Patagonia. I am a cinema addict and try to write poetry and other scripts while I have the time. I like to know every detail of any city I visit.

Music, Movies, and Books

For movies there are plenty but the best for me are the following:

The Shining, Clockwork Orange, Reservoir Dogs, The Machinist, Dr. Strangelove, Pi, The Usual Suspects, Schindler's List, Fight Club, Trainspotting, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Shichinin no samurai (Akira Kurosawa), Goodfellas, Citizen Kane, Memento, Apocalypse Now, Der Untergang, Das Boot, 2001 A Space Odyssey, Das Leben der Anderen, Det Sjunde inseglet, Full Metal Jacket, On The Waterfront, High Noon, Fargo, The Great Dictator, Kamchatka, Yojimbo, Platoon, The Prestige, Dog Day Afternoon, Mystic River, Terminator II, American Pyscho, American History X, The Departed, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

My favourite band is Iron Maiden since I'm listening to music. I like Heavy Metal, Thrash Metal and Power Metal. I only listen to European bands and to Argentinean bands. I like old school metal, especially prior to 1992, the metal decay year.

For books I like writers like Oscar Wilde, Friedrich Nietzsche, Charles Dickens, William Blake, Goethe, Marcel Proust, Jules Verne, among others. Also read a lot of Psychiatry books and of course Engineering books. I don't like Latinamerican literature because of the themes they use in books, I'm more into more abstract writing rather than social stuff.
