About Me

I'm from Rosario, Argentina. I was an exchange student during High School and that experience arouse my interest for travelling, meeting people from different cultures, learning languages, hostel life. I'm currently working at the Alpes, waiting to be accepted to do my Master's in Psychology in France. I like to practice kayak and play guitar and Ukelele. I like to cook, listen to music, go to the park, stroll along the river. Nothing compares to the freedom of travelling and making new friends along the way.

Soy de Rosario, Argentina. Fui estudiante de intercambio en la secundaria y esa experiencia avivó mi interés por viajar, conocer personas de otras culturas, aprender idiomas, la vida de hostel. Actualmente estoy trabajando en los Alpes, esperando que me acepten para hacer mi Máster en Psicología en Francia. Soy kayakista y toco la guitarra y el Ukelele. Me gusta mucho cocinar, escuchar música, ir a tomar mates al parque, pasear por el río. Nada se compara a la libertad de viajar y hacer nuevos amigos por el camino.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Everything you do is amazing if you just take a moment to appreciate life, breathe it in, find calm in the surrounding chaos.

Todo lo que hacemos es maravilloso si nos detenemos un momento para apreciar la vida, respirar hondo, encontrar la calma en medio de la tormenta.

"In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love. In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile. In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm. I realized, through it all, that.. In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back." Albert Camus.

"En medio del odio, descubrí que había, dentro de mí, un amor invencible. En medio de lágrimas, descubrí que había, dentro de mí, una sonrisa invencible. En medio del caos, descubrí que había, dentro de mí, una calma invencible. Me di cuenta, a pesar de todo eso... En medio del invierno, descubrí que había, dentro de mí, un verano invencible. Y eso me hace feliz. Porque esto dice que no importa lo duro que el mundo empuja contra mí; dentro de mí hay algo más fuerte, algo mejor, empujando de vuelta." Albert Camus.
