Hello! I'm Guada, from Argentina. I'm 28 years old and I work as a freelance English-Spanish Translator and Interpreter. I was born and bred in Mar del Plata, which is also were I currently live, but I spent 8 years living in La Plata (1 h by bus from Buenos Aires City), where I went to college.

I take singing lessons (I'm learning lyrical style at the moment, but it's purely amateur) because I love singing and I always enjoy doing something artistic.

I'm learning German (so far, I've got A1 and A2 levels) because I have dual nationality (Argentinean and German) and it's kinda sad to say you're German but not speak a word of it!

And lastly, I like going to the gym to blow some steam off and stay fit, considering the life of a translator can get pretty sedentary.

During the weekend, I like going out with friends, whether it's just for dinner and some drinks or to dance all night to some amazing Latin American music styles!!! It's safe to say that the dancefloor is one of the places where I'm the happiest.

Lastly, a little bit about my City. Mar del Plata is a coastal city in the southeast of the province of Buenos Aires. It's got a beautiful shoreline that extends quite a few kilometers (47 to be exact!) with a lot of beaches and amazing architecture. The ideal season to visit would be summer. Granted, it's not the Caribbean, but it's got it's own charm :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

MOSTLY, I want to meet people from all over the world, and would be glad to meet up with travellers that have chosen "La Feliz" (that's what we call Mar del Plata) as one of their destinations :) I can't offer a couch because I'm not living alone (yet!), but like I said, I'm exited about showing people around and maybe going for coffee, drinks or even dinner!

Do not hesitate to send me a message if you're visiting MDP.

Music, Movies, and Books

Uffffff! This could be a really long list, so I'm gonna keep it simple.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE 80'S MUSIC.

I like reading a lot, specially Romanticism, crime/detective and period novels.

And of course I love watching movies and TV shows :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well, this may sound cliché, but I'm a very outgoing and friendly person. I may be rather shy when I meet people for the first time, but the second I warm up, you're gonna be begging for me to stop talking!

I love meeting people who share my interests, but also I like to get people interested in new things and the other way around. I feel like there is so much to share, from interests in sports, art and city life to more private stuff, like experiencies about growing up, family and school. Good conversations and laughs is all it is about!

I also enjoy going out, whether it's for a walk around the city, to visite specific places or to go to cafés, restaurants and nightclubs.
