Music, Movies, and Books

I am open to any type of music, but my favourite genre is indie rock. Love going to live concerts and festivals.

To be honest, I mainly read things related with design! (A bit of a fanatic here haha).
I also enjoy reading in languages I'm trying to learn, did that while learning Italian and it helped me a lot. Mostly thrillers.

Love watching movies, I'm not as educated in the subject as I would like to be but I really enjoy it. I am interested in filmmaking (I use to make videos for my university projects) so I try to appreciate the photography and learn from it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My trip to Europe (first Erasmus and then traveling around) has been incredible, I believe it made me grow a lot and open my mind. I enjoy telling people more about my country and my way of living there, which is pretty unknown besides some general facts.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love everything related to design and photography, I would be glad to exchange opinions and have some interesting conversations. The same when it comes to music. It is a great part of my everyday life. I love listening to new bands, and showing my favourite ones. I love listening to live music, i think it's one of the best things in which to spend money (besides from travelling obviously!)
I speak Spanish, English and Italian, can give you a hand if you're learning one of them! I love learning languages and I believe the best way is interacting with native speakers.
I had technical education and some practical experience, so maybe I can help you fix something that´s not working great at home!

I want to learn from people all around the world! During my Erasmus in Italy I enjoyed a lot asking people about their lives in different countries, I belive it opens our heads enourmously and can change our way of thinking for good.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some argentinian dishes and traditions, languages or design/photography knowledge, some handyman skills, respect, and mainly a great attitude and positivity!
