Overview
About Me
I don't like copy paste, just be honest.
I like to believe I am a free spirit that is always searching. Live the moment and follow your guts that is my philosophy.
I am very enthusiastic and sometimes my Latin roots and honesty could be too intense for some people, besides that I consider myself easy going and a very adaptable person, who really enjoy the simple things in life. A sunny morning, a walk across the nature and a good cup of pretty much everything. Autumn and spring could be the only midpoints that I really like haha
I am permanently exploring. I love travelling and searching for new things, experiences and feelings. I am a very curious person, I like to observe my surrender and try to understand our behavior into this society. Enjoys listened to different perspectives, ideas and life styles, willing to learn and open my mind everyday.
During my trips I walk a lot, I like to visit local places, where I can see the real atmotphera, and learn more about the culture. I appreciate street art, graffiti, independent performances. I enjoy taking photos of things that caught my attention, I would love to improve my shots and be able to reflex what those items generate for me.
I am really into food, I love eating, talking, reading and making pictures of food. I also enjoy cooking and sharing recipes and new ideas. I need to admit that I am a bit picky with the products I consume. I try to
avoid going to the supermarket, I stay away from packets, bags and colorful boxes, I prefer to spend hours around the markets, buying local and handmade food, discovering natural ingredients, and learning about seasonal options.
Since my trip around India I have become more and more aware of my time on this planet, and I enjoy chatting with people that I feel are on the same wavelength. I have been reading a lot about our habits and how we could improve the way we eat, live and shared the earth. I want to learn more about sustainable life, eco frienly envirometns.
I do not really like labels so I will not say I am vegan, although I choose to consume vegetable products and almost never add meat, dairies or eggs in my meals. However, I adapt very easily and I do what my body feels at that moment. I love to taste local food and to know other cultures through its cuisine, so I do not let my food choices be an obstacle to enjoy.
I love eating out, but just if it is a good place, where I feel they also value what they cook, and put love in their food otherwise I rather have a fruit than eating a frozen pizza or a ready to go pasta.
I am a big feminist. It's such an important part in my life, everything changed for me since I discover feminism and I love to share this which those who are prepared to listen to other's perspectives. I wish the world could be more equitable. I fight everyday for that, sometimes I put too much energy in those small "battles"and could be exhausted, but I truly believe that smooth gestures can modify the way we see things.
As a guest and as a host I am a very relaxed person, I love my freedom and I would try to give you also space. Although I like to talk a lot I need my peaceful moment by myself, I really respect the personal space and I I try my best to not disturb anyone around me. I think the best tool we have is communication I like to feel that I can be honest with what I want and I do not want to do, I expect the same from you.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
A few years ago I decided to leave Argentina to travel around as many places as I could and at that moment I though this could be a great tool to exploring in a budget mode and be in touch with the local communities.
I lived one year in Australia, and from there I spend 3 months in India and Nepal. This changed me, not in the way I expect but in the way I was needing.
After that I made a technical stop in Argentina to visit the family and recharged batteries. I travel a few months around the Balkans learning about the war and the ex Yugoslavia.
I stayed in many houses, and I had guests with the most diverse background and traditions. I heard many stories and learned a lot about other cultures. All these experiences opened my mind and helped me to rediscover myself, (Still a long path to walk).
Now a days I choose couchsurfing not really to save money, but because I want to share my trips with the correct people with whom I believe I could feel comfortable being myself, making the most of my trips, hearing what they have to say, learning and talking in an honest way.
I used to have a shared account, so if you really need to read some refences about me, feel fre to take a look here. https://www.couchsurfing.com/users/2004074413

Music, Movies, and Books
I like watching crime movies and series. Nature, food and travel documentaries are my weakness. Sometimes I think I should have lived in other ages, so I love those films that reflect the beginning of the "modern life". They inspired me.
I feel relaxed when I listen to chill music. I love to discover new bands and sounds. I find viniles extremely cool.
I enjoy a sudoku afternoons and board games during rainy days and winter nights haha.
I love reading, but I never remember the authors and the name of the book I have read. I am into differents subjets and recommendations are always more than welcome!
I am really into art. I think is a the most wonderful and powerful way you express feeling, sensations, emotions. I would love to develop more my skills into photograph, clay pottery, painting, graffiti so and so on.
