About Me

Hey there, CS community!!

My name is Martin, but people usually, call me Tincho. Im an Industrial Engineering from a very remarkable national university (UTN). Against what many people think, (most) engineers are not as narrow as they seem :P
I could say I consider myself to be a REALLY OPENMINDED and laid back person! I think I understand people quite well, making me tolerant, open to discussions, to new cultures, etc. At home I'm really clean and neat (can get a little OCD sometimes haha) BUT I try not to be an inconvenience to anyone, I'm SUPER self sufficient and independent. I don't like to bother nor to be bothered.

I love life and she usually loves me back!

Travel - related life???
mmmh what can I tell you...

I've lived and worked in the US for about 5 months, in a mountain village on the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. A trip that made me become a fervorous snowboard fan! Have also been to beautiful San Francisco in CA, and Big NYC. I've also tasted snow on the Austrian side of the Alps. As you can tell I LOVE winter travel!

When it comes to warmer weathers, I also enjoy lying on a beach. I've also travelled throughout parts of Brazil, Chile, Uruguay and a little Paraguayan border towns.

Then, the last thing I've done is travel a bit around Europe. It happens that I won an Research Scholarship in Germany, and turns out that the LEAST thing I did was Research. xP hahah. I did go to University there and took some courses (Hochschule Esslingen, in der Nähe von Stuttgart). I lived for about 8 months there in Germany, and used it OF COURSE as a hub to visit other parts of Europe on cheap flights and buses, met people and places that I honestly ended up LOVING.

Now, about my city...?
Buenos Aires has got MUCH to offer, and my recommendation: If you want to enjoy, LIVE IT LIKE A LOCAL, don't ONLY go to the same old touristic places! Do smth new! Something a local would! MEET locals and they'll let you know!

Enjoy!
KEEP CALM AND TRAVEL ON!
:P

Tincho.
