Overview
About Me
I was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina; then, in 2012, I moved to Florida to pursue my dream: to study in an American university.
Moving to North America has definitely been a life-changing experience. I got to travel to almost every big city in the U.S, getting to know the different types of architecture, food, art, and people across the country. Unfortunately, I got caught up in a very competitive and highly-ambitious way of facing education and life in general, losing touch with nature, and human relationships on the way.
I'm now less than a year away from graduating college, and I'm nervously excited about the freedom that will come with having a degree in my pocket.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Because I usually travel by myself, so meeting friendly hosts who are willing to engage in a cultural exchange is always a plus!
Interests
As weird as it may sound, getting lost makes me really, really happy because it's the only time when I can truly see things from a new perspective.
I enjoy discovering old book stores, cafés, and small theaters, or any place where there's a community of independent artists.
Things I like to talk about: Art, politics, psychology, and education.
I hope to learn: French, and how to surf.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Spent my 22nd birthday at the music festival Lollapalooza Argentina, where I saw some amazing artists live, such as: Lorde, Phoenix, Ellie Goulding, Capital Cities, and Vampire Weekend.
Teach, Learn, Share
Either as a host, or a guest, I enjoy cooking with other Couchsurfing members. I think the kitchen is the best place to express one's culture, language, and tastes. Let's cook together and exchange recipes!
Also... I teach basic English to beginners, so if you want to learn, I can try to teach you.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Tales, anecdotes, meaningful conversations. The best thing I have to offer is company, as corny as that sounds, we can go out and dance crazily, or we can just share drinks and talk about life.
