About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Usar lo más posible el menos comun de los sentidos, el sentido común

ABOUT ME

It's really hard to describe yourself while being objective! A short description of me would be that I love listening to other's stories and I do ask many questions about them (maybe far too many) I but never cross the thin line between curiosity and "cheeky"ness (or do I? Mmm...).
I also like to complain about things that don't matter at all, I even complain when I don't have nothing to complain about! ( I'm trying to fix that!!!) but if you find that disgusting or even annoying, you are more than welcome to come to Buenos Aires and see for yourself that everybody here does the same! So, it can be said that I'm another "porteño". Ta-dah!

PHILOSOPHY

You are what you eat!
Man ist was man ißt!
Uno es lo que come!
Tu es ce que tu manges!

I think that there are two kinds of people: people who have sense of humour and people who don't. At uni I was told one that said that there are 10 kinds of people : the ones who understand binary code and the ones who doesn't but I like the former saying and I try to belong to the first group as much as I can!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I simply host people. It's not a such an important role but.....someone has to do it to mantain the cycle
