Hi! I live with my wife Jesica in a very centric location of Buenos Aires (right next to the Congress). We're both ecologists, activists and vegans. We both enjoy gardening, cooking and spreading knowledge.

Regarding me specifically, I'm a philosopher by training and a web developer by trade. I started traveling when I was 18, first to the United States for three months, with a Work & Travel program. In the following years, during the summers, I hitchhiked through Uruguay, the north of Argentina, and Bolivia. In 2009 I traveled to New Zealand, where I stayed for seven months in my best friends place. Then I returned to finish my studies, and in the meantime I learned web developing, which I now do for a living. I also contributed a lot to Wikipedia, and now I contribute to the software as well as the encyclopedia. In 2013 I traveled Europe (Spain, Amsterdam, Germany, Poland), and in 2014 I headed for Southeast Asia (Japan, Bangkok, Bali, Hong Kong), taking advantage of the fact that I can work from anywhere. Now I'm back in Argentina, got married and I'm looking to take root with a start up that has a positive impact.

My goal in life is to be harmless, happy and to have a positive impact (in that order). I'm married and live with my wife (her name is Jesica) and we're both vegan.

I'm very curious so I have a very wide range of interests and hobbies. If you want to know more about me, check my website http://sophivorus.com/

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I learned about CouchSurfing while traveling through Europe. I decided to give it a go, made a full profile and immediately got a host in Prague. I only stayed a night, but it was a good night. Next I found a host in Krakow for a few nights. Him and his flatmates were extraordinary guys, that left a lasting impression on me for their generosity.

As soon as I returned to Buenos Aires, I moved with four friends and we had plenty of room for others, so we all agreed in hosting travellers, and so we did. One after another people came, and except for one couple, they were all great, and gave us no reason to stop. But some months later I travelled to Southeast Asia, where I had to do a break to hosting, and get into surfing! Again great people, in Japan, but especially in Hong Kong!

Once back in Buenos Aires, I participated in several CouchSurfing events and met great people, but I wasn't able to host. Now I moved with my wife to a very centric place with an extra room and couch, so I'm perfectly able to host, and willing to do so!
