Hi my name is Helga Mariel and you can call me Helga or Mariel. My parents named me Helga because it's a family name that comes from my grate-grand mother who was from Denmark and her name was Helga. They named me Mariel in honor of a famous Argentinian-rock song name "Mariel y el capitán" (Mariel and the captain), a song about a tragic love story.
As an Argentinian I grew up on the mix of traditions and cultures and I really love to get to know some new ones. So that's one of the reasons I want to travel more.
I study textile design in the University of Buenos Aires and I love all things related to design and art: photography, drawing, embroidery, etc.
Thanks for reading about me! I try not to sound too serious but I don't know how to sound "cool" in english haha

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

The main reason that brought me to Couchsurfing was the posibility of meeting new people of other cultures that taught me about their countries in a better way that City guides or the Internet.
I can be shy sometimes but I love to know new music, new art and new hidden places of every town and I hope that I can get to know those things from cool hosts.

Interessi

I'm a feminist so everything that includes gender studies, women's history and female power interests me. Besides that, I like argentinian literature, illustrations, japanese manga and animé, going to museums, buying stationery and cool fabrics and eating cheese hamburguers.
I love taking pictures with my analog camera and also make little illustrations about my life in ink and watercolor

Musica, film e libri

I love Bob Dylan, Arctic Monkeys, Cat Power, Florence and the machine, Leonard Cohen, Regina Spektor, The Strokes, The Black Keys, Franz Ferdinand, Devendra Banhart, Spinetta, Sofía Viola and many many more.

I'm a fan of all Wes Anderson's movies, anything that has Rosamund Pike in it and the series Game of Thrones. I also like series like Girls, Orange is the new Black, Fargo, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Dexter, The Good Wife. And movies like Gone Girl, The Devil Wears Prada, Inside Llewyn Davis, Wild, Liberal Arts, Last Night, Drinking Buddies, Luna de Avellaneda, La suerte está echada, Cerro Bayo, Voley and many many more. I love movies in general so I'm clearly forgetting about tons of movies.

In books I love Julio Cortázar, Haruki Murakami, Edgar Allan Poe, J.D Salinger, Isabel Allende and I'm in love with all things Harry Potter

Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa
