About Me

First three weeks of December 2025 I'll be bike packing through Portugal. From Lisbon to Lagos/Faro/ Albufeira.

It's my first time in Portugal!

If you have a place to host or recomendations about traditional festivals, fairs, music or poetry events DM me :)

Why am I in Couchsurfing?

I embrace the random feeling of being familiar when sharing your house with someone you've met a minute ago.

As a traveler I really appreciate to meet your culture, friends and family. I enjoy cooking for a lot of people and being the DJ of the group.

Where do I live?
I was born in Argentina then in 2019 I started to move for work and studies.
Since June 2023 I live in Barcelona, Catalonya.

What do I do in Barcelona?
I work as private tour guide in routes of modernisme, wines, food and history, I also work with Viking and Costa Toscana doing tours for big groups in Italian and English.

I'm part of the Experimental Photo Festival team and I write and perform poetry.
I alternate practicing martial arts and boxing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When you openly, radically trust people, they not only take care of you, they become your allies, your family. Sometimes people will prove themselves untrustworthy. When that happens, the correct response is not: Fuck! I knew I couldn’t trust anybody! The correct response is: Some people just suck. Moving right along.
