Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Current Mission… I guess i´m happy trying to learn how to enjoy more my life, opening myself in as many ways as possible and letting go old boundaries. Always on the path of learning to enjoy more the relationships with other people and life. This is the trip for me i guess.
ABOUT ME
Well, i guess it's hard to define oneself... But i can say i love music -That's what i studied after school in a "formal" way-, i'm very interested and more in communication, and developing new and happier ways to get in touch with others and oneself- It's not an academic interest, it's just need and hopes.
In fact this is what i try to and used to do- I worked as a Music teacher in schools for a few years and i guess i'm pretty passionate about teaching and sharing music with others. In fact as i teach i learn.
I like this idea of being changing, and evolving, and flowing.
I used to be a Music Teacher in Argentina for years, with a fixed job, being respected, having a “kind of” secure life etc… But I needed something else, so I traveled to Australia for a year, working there in many different jobs, which was great. I learnt a lot of things, but mainly i guess i opened up my mind in many ways.
I also traveled around South East Asia for a couple of months and that too was fantastic.
And then i decided to come back to Argentina, which is where i am now, in Bariloche, my home town.
So now just adapting, making some new plans, giving and taking a few lessons, writing and right now enjoying the summer, which is really great here and the best time for me to be around.
PHILOSOPHY
Mmm..
I guess trying to remain humble and aware-
Trying to connect with me and with others in a deep and honest way (not that i always do it, but i try!)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I like music a lot, I play guitar, charango (a Bolivan Instrument that I carry with me) and a little of Piano. I love to play music with other people.
I like meeting new people , love sports and specially football (soccer), and like to play it very much.
I´m passionate about teaching/learning so I´m quite often either showing some musical stuff to a friend or learning something myself (Bahasa language/Photography/chess etc).
And most of all, i like to communicate with people, share things bout our lifes, feel some kind of true connection toghether, etc.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Well, i had my first CS experience in the last trip i made, to Australia, Indonesia, Cambodia and I´m very very happy about the experiences i had with all my hosts. I never expected all what i got, i mean mainly in a personal way; it was great, i met a lot of people from different places, we did things together, talked, played music and much more, and right now, months after the trip, i continue in touch with a few of them.
Right now i'm in Bariloche Argentina but i don't have my own house yet, so it's difficult to me to host someone in the house i live, but i'd be very happy to catch up with someone/s, show them around, give my help and share things together.
