About Me

Sarcastic, and coffee lover (Yes, priorities are priorities)

Made that point clear, I can go on with these next few lines.

"Stay hungry, stay foolish" said once Steve Jobs, and though he's not one of my idols, those four words synthesize a philosophy I've taken for my life.
Among other things, I'm about to get my degree in electronics engineering, and work as young researcher at my home university, in Buenos Aires.
I wanna see the world, and experience its cultures. And the more I see, more convinced I am the world is too vast to spend our lives in a single place. However it is funny when you realize that all this variety, all this beauty, all you could have ever thought about, happens in a "little pale blue dot suspended in a sunbeam" (Thank you Carl Sagan for such a memorable reflexion)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, basically to meet and experience different ways to see life, to share part of my trips with someone else (part of them, I also need my time, to get lost, and to talk with myself)

Interests

Love Photography, literature, films, music, and definitely traveling is something I love, doesn't matters where, or how much time takes to reach the destiny, I love the fact of traveling, by car, by plane, by ship, or even by donkey if it's necessary (?)

Music, Movies, and Books

My music taste is definitely influenced by The Beatles. I'm kinda sick of Beetlemania. From Beatles to Oasis, Coldplay or Blur, among others, my life's Soundtrack is for sure Made in England. But, (and it is an important "but") there's room enough for Frankie Sinatra and his Rat Pack, Beethoven and his glorious symphonies (and of course the magic of, for example Daniel Barenboim, directing it) or the sad and nostalgic beauty of Tango.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Now, and for six months I'll be living and studying in Germany, after having won an scholarship from my university, and the fact of being here, miles away from the place I've grown up is an unbelievable experience. Our eyes are not enough for the beauty that lives in this ancient but always alive and wonderful continent.

Although you've asked for one (1) amazing thing I've done, I can't stop writing about another quite nice anecdote, which was crossing the Paraná river, in a little tiny boat, with other 6 people, at midnight, without any light but the moonlight.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I might (try to) cook, and I might share with you stories of my life, or simply talk about veeeery different topics.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Brazil, Denmark, England, Finland, France, Ireland, Scotland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Uruguay, Wales
