I'm a visual/performance artist. I also teach Spanish to foreigners. My apartment? There's a balcony, where I spend most of my time, and a rooftop with parrilla. I'm vegan and try to eat healthily most of the time.I like sharing a good meal with wine while talking about saving the world and getting to know a bit more about you of course. There's no TV in the flat, I don`t really watch it, but I do love movies; plus there's always music on, and a tambourine. The neighbourhood is fine, bohemian and much cheaper than Palermo. But you can still get to Palermo in ten minutes by bus and 20 minutes to San Telmo. In case you're too lazy to take any kind of public transport and just wanna walk a few blocks.. there are bars, restaurants and lots of shops. My guests are always welcome to join me anytime, and fortunately I know the city pretty well. You can get a glimpse of what I do here: www.virginiaocana.com www.instagram.com/virginia.ocana/
