Overview
About Me
I'm a calmed person, with a good sense of humour. Music is the one thing in the world I'm most passioante about. I am a composer, play the piano, the guitar and sing. Right now I'm very near finishing my first album as a songwriter and that has me VERY excited. I also like composing for theater plays and dance groups.
I'm very curious and that is what pushes me to know new things, and to change the things I do to get to do new stuff. Change is the only constant goes some saying. I believe change is the basis of life. And whatever doesn´t change, eventually dies. That´s why I really enjoy travelling and meeting new people, places, things to do, ways of thinking, ways of living, cultures, etc. There is a vast world to know, and a lot to learn from others.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Right now, I´m to make my biggest trip ever, going to Europe for about a month. For Argentinians this is not very easy economically speaking. We have a very devaluated coin, and our salaries are not very good. A very good friend of mine told me about this community, and it seems the experience he has had was so great that he actually convinced me it makes no sense to pay big companies or hotels for a cold experience when you can actually connect with people that cares and knows how it is.
It all sounded great. So here I am. Let´s hope it goes well! :)

Teach, Learn, Share
Not entirely sure what is expected in this section.
I can give piano/music lessons to my hosts for sure.
I'd love to learn whatever there is to learn: how to cook some traditional food, how to play a particular new instrument, etc.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Music for sure. If there is a guitar or a piano or something to play we can work something out.
Interesting talks, I love philosophying, or discussing politics or different cultures.
I´m not a GREAT cook but I have my ways.
