About Me

Born and (almost fully) raised in Argentina, I moved to France to do my phd in computer science.
When I'm not diving into books I'm almost surely doing one of my three hobbies: practicing ballet, playing violin, or running.
I enjoy reading a lot, hanging out with friends, travelling and learning new languages. Oh!, and going out to dance!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think the best way to get to know the world is experiencing different cultures and meeting new people.

Interests

If I wasn't a programmer I would be a dancer: I love practicing ballet every day. I also play violin and enjoy reading a lot, mainly literature, drama, and philosophy and politics.

Music, Movies, and Books

Astor Piazzolla, Soda Stereo, Divididos, Fito Paez, Oasis, Red Hot, Lila Downs, Mercedes Sosa are some of my favorites musicians.
Some books I recently read and loved: "Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy", "Morts sans sépulture", "Yerma", "The great god brown", "The history of sexuality", "Don segundo sombra", "El ingenioso Hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha", "Cuentos de la Selva". Gabriel García Marquez, Jorge Borges, and Mario Vargas Llosa are some of the writers I love (I couldn't list them all!).
Apart from the classics I really enjoy reading philosophy every day.
With movies I usually have one rule: not to watch the highest-grossing hollywood stuff. I like independent films which still leave something to your imagination.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've practiced ballet since childhood and I got kind of good at it.
