I am a 20 year-old Political Science student from Buenos Aires.

Apart from visiting some neighboring countries, I had three important trips in my lifetime: I went to Europe with my brother when I finished school, then a year later I went to Cairo, Egypt, to do volunteer work in an NGO for a month and a half and then visited Istanbul, Athens, and Rome, and in my third trip I went as a Fulbright Scholar to do a five-week-long seminar on Social Entrepreneurship in Massachusetts, also getting to visit Boston, Springfield, NYC, Tucson, Grand Canyon, Flagstaff, and Washington DC.

I am in my third university year and will be doing an exchange program in Sciences Po Paris during the Autumn semester of 2019-2020.

I sing and play the guitar and a bit of piano. I enjoy photography, modeling and art. I am very interested in politics, international affairs, philosophy, and sociology, as well as economics and entrepreneurship. I love animals, specially dogs.

I have friends all over the world and plan to continue making new ones!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think CS is a great opportunity to learn about other cultures and to experience new destinations with the eyes of a local. CS has this natural filter that gets interesting people to participate and with that guarantees extraordinary experiences. During my exchange program in Paris, I will probably travel a bit to cities nearby so I would appreciate kind Couchsurfers to host me. In return, I can offer some music, anecdotes, English and Spanish lessons, very interesting political and philosophical discussions, and a friend in Argentina.
