CURRENT MISSION

be more courageous/ser más valiente

ABOUT ME

I've studied Communication. I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina but had the fortune to travel around ever since I was little thanks to my family. In 2014 I did an exchange program in Seville, Spain.

I'm fluent in English and in Spanish, and know the tiniest bit of Portuguese and Italian. I have no sense of shame when it comes to learning new languages so at the slightest chance of an opportunity to improve those two, I will. Even if I risk being Tarzan-like.

I am passionate. Give me someone who wants to share something of themselves, give me a good book, give me a plane, a bus, a bike... I will be thankful. Despite how densely cliché this sounds, I find no other words to sum it up: I'm passionate about life, about being a true human being. That is all.

Estudié Comunicación. Soy de Buenos Aires, pero tuve la fortuna de viajar desde que era chica gracias a mi familia que siempre lo consideró una prioridad. En el 2014 estuve cinco meses de intercambio en Sevilla y me enamoré de la ciudad.

Hablo inglés y español como primeras lenguas. Sé un poquito de portugués e italiano. No tengo vergüenza de aprender nuevos idiomas: a la primera oportunidad que tenga de mejorarlos, me lanzo. Incluso si corro el riesgo de parecer Tarzán, que es lo más probable.

Soy apasionada. Dame alguien que quiera compartir algo de sí misma, dame un buen libro, dame un avión, un autobús, una bici... y voy a estar agradecida. Es cliché pero no encuentro otras palabras para describirlo: me apasiona la vida, me apasiona averiguar lo que es ser un ser humano verdadero y genuino. Eso es todo.

PHILOSOPHY

"I'm tired of being a skeptic, I'm irritated by spiritual prudence and I feel bored and parched by empirical debate. I don't want to hear it anymore. I couldn't care less about evidence and proof and assurances. I just want God. I want God inside me. I want God to play in my bloodstream the way sunlight amuses itself on water."

(Elizabeth Gilbert, "Eat, Pray, Love")

----------

"Estoy cansada de ser una cínica. Me irrita la prudencia espiritual y me aburre el debato empírico. No quiero escucharlo más. No me interesan las evidencias y las pruebas y las certezas. Solo lo quiero a Dios. Lo quiero a Dios dentro de mí. Quiero que Dios se divierta y juegue en mi sangre de la misma forma en la que la luz del sol se divierte en el agua".

(Elizabeth Gilbert, "Comer, Rezar, Amar")

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've swam with dolphins in the Caribbean, ones we spotted swimming by chance. Can things get cooler than that?

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help with your Spanish and English.

I am willing to learn everything you can offer, including things you didn't even know about. I really mean it when I say there's something we can learn from any of us. Establishing relationships with people is already a give-and-take experience, and a deeply moving one.
