Overview
About Me
I'm calm and social.
I like many diferent things, i'm always interested in learning about new ones and I often end up doing a lot of activities. So i like talking about everything.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I came to New Zealand with a working holiday visa and i'm looking to use this method as a way of getting to new places and meeting local people.
I'm looking forward to get to know new cultures and share whatever i can.
As far as i lived in other people's homes, i got really interested in habits and customs that everyone has like ways of cooking or spending time around the house.
Another thing i'm interested about couchsurfing is to be able to get to know new places with locals, avoiding the usual tourist's way.
Interests
Music, i used to play the guitar and i'm a sound technician, i'm looking forward to go to concerts everywhere.
Politics, i'm a political activist (socialist). I'm part of an Argentinian workers party and i believe that the only way to change the world is with people organizing themselves with their own methods all around the world. People that decide what is done should be the same that work on those things (health system for example), not people that do business with those.
Videogames, i used to be a gamer when i was a teenager and I keep playing from time to time.
Cooking, I think food, most of all homemade, is a good way to know about lifestyles.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I fought in a ring, i used to train Kickboxing and had 2 matches. (just in case, i'm not a violent person at all, i think using violence outside a ring is disrespectful to your own training and whoever taught you)
I took control of a ministry of education (peacefully) with a lot of students and activists for half a day. It was because of the fact that a corrupted government and education system had (and still has) state universities in really poor conditions, and some days before a social sciences' department was place of an accident that, just for an amazing timing, didn't end up in tragedy. In the end, we got 60 million pesos (6 million dollars) to repair the building.
Teach, Learn, Share
I want to improve my english, it's already good enough to communicate but i want to be really good at it.
