“If we were meant to stay in one place, we would have roots instead of feet"

I'm an Argentinian guy living in beautiful Byron Bay, Australia, with my amazing partner, Sabrina. I'm a really easygoing and friendly person, usually relaxed and in a good mood. I enjoy having long, deep conversations with different kinds of people about various topics. I love nature and road trips. I'm not annoying, dirty, loud, or messy. I'm a polite, respectful, and independent person who loves to travel and learn.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The part I enjoy the most about traveling is to meet new people and learn new things, and I had such great experiences with CS that I want to promote it. I made some really good friends from all over the world thanks to it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My partner and I built a motorhome out of a school bus and traveled around Argentina for two years. During this time, we became influencers and documented our journey on Instagram (@labyronvan). We recorded 42 acoustic music sessions in the bus as part of our project, La Byron Van Sessions, which you can find on YouTube. After selling the van, we moved to Australia a year and a half ago and settled in Byron Bay, our happy place that originally inspired the name of our project.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach how to cook some amazing vegan banana pancakes, mindblowing popcorn, and incredible falafels. I can also give Spanish or English lessons.

I love to learn all kind of stuff! Whatever you can teach me I'll always be grateful.

I enjoy sharing stories about the trips I made and about the argentinian culture.

Time, good vibes, stories, walks, deep conversations, nights out, just to name some examples. Pretty much anything fun, cool or interesting to do.
