About Me

What can I tell you about myself? To keep it short and sweet, I'm hard working, passionate about English, willing and determined to succeed.
My philosophy of life has always been "Stay Hungry. Stay foolish."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of my best friends is part of Couchsurfing and she told me about it and I think it is an awesome idea to meet people and share experiencies.
Life's too short to wait!
I had my first Couchsurfing experience in Amersfoort, Netherlands last year and it was really pleasant!

Interests

I'm keen on music! Even though, I really like listening to almost all kinds of music, my favourite band is Queen! I love concerts!

Then, I'm interested in sports; I play hockey, go running and work out in the gym.

I enjoy reading and learning about world history and culture.

I love languages! I'm learning French at the moment.

I can't live without chocolate and I like cooking sweet recipes. Food is one of my greatest pleasures! I hope I have the chance to try out typical meals from around the world!

I´d like to meet up people from other countries and travel non-stop!!!

Music, Movies, and Books

As I have already said I love Queen!

I usually watch movies at home because not only do these help me improve my language skills, but also reflect people's creativity and points of view, which I find pretty much interesting. I prefer watching movies inspired on real events, since I want to learn from them.

When it comes to books, I'd rather choose non-fiction,but I'm open to others.
My favourite writers are Danielle Steel and Thoreau.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taking my courage in both hands, I will definitely follow my dreams, make them come true and start the journey that will mark the beginning of new life for me!
Last year, I spent three months in Europe travelling alone and doing adventurous things!

Teach, Learn, Share

Keeping healthy by eating well and exercising regularly is a must!
I find Steve Jobs extremely inspiring.
I'm open to meet new people and learn from them!
My country is a destination travellers can't miss! San Rafael is just out of this world, as it has outstanding landscapes!!

The best is yet to come!

What I Can Share with Hosts

The best thing I can offer you is the opprtunity to learn Argentine culture!
What's more, hosts can learn my mother tongue, Spanish, and English, my foreign language, as well. I can talk about my experiences around many countries in Europe and make suggestions if you would like to travel there someday!
Then, we can share notes with each other and grow into better human beings!
