COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Well I have been to Argentina and made lots of friends in lots of countries. Me and my Argentine friend pablo also have a club on FaceBook called FOODIIEEZ where we host social parties and invite people from different nationalities to have a taste of all kinds of food. It's all about good food, good people and good times. We meet new people understand new cultures and eat different food. this satisfies me to a great extent. We have hosted people from Ireland, Miami and Canada uptil now but have had coffee, dinner experience with hundreds of them. you can see our experience on FB.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The most exciting and happy times of my life (little things and super BIG things) were all when I "wanted/expected" nothing.
I was least expecting those things, and they happened in the most exciting and most amazing ways possible.
It's a bit bad for the ego but I want to share with you that amazing things have happened often (and I am grateful).
I traveled to Argentina when I had no aspirations of traveling abroad. Right now I am traveling to US and I had no intentions of going there.
I met Pablo and learnt a lot about simple living, but ironically I even flew in a private jet free of cost with him. :D
I am so lucky with friends some of whom you met and know. Also, embarrassingly, I have had beautiful (inside and out) of admirers too. ;) <>
I went to places I never dreamed of going and never expected to reach. These are not just the places that are touristic but the hidden places around the city like my friend's (Mannuel) place Navarro outside city limits, a day spend just around the city at a place called Peru beach with a special friend (Ceci), going to Bolivia unexpectedly to my friend Paula, driving with my close friends around Bariloche on a road trip of the 7 lakes, and many more experiences... (don't want to bore you but I can share more if you are interested. The pics are anyways in my FB)
and You!
There are numerous small things that happened that you might not think as important but meant to me...
I lived in an apartment with the MOST amazing view from my bed. (though I was living in a hall sharing the space with Pablo and then Jorge) The wind used to blow right to me bed and when it rained it was the most soothing experience I could ever have had.
The whole house was carpeted and even though it looks not even worth mentioning but it was also a little desire that came true.
The little parties where we cooked chapatis and shared cool times with friends and also the big bashes and fiestas. The ferias, just sitting at palermo park with friends eating some random stuff or talking stupid for hours :)
Lots more to share but let's make that in person.
