About Me

I love travelling and meeting new people. I'm curious and I always want to learn. Besides, I study communications here in Buenos Aires. I'm quite fond of politics. These were my words before going on a trip that lasted one year and seven months. Now I can say more about myself, like that I can live in a different country for a long time, that I am strong enough to do it, because I love it. I enjoy so much discovering new places and staring at the enormous natural landscapes there are around the globe. I cannot see my life now without being involved with an international environment and I find couchsurfing as a way of feeding this.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find this as an awesome oportunity to get to know people from all around the world, who could show me the places as they really are. I would like to share experiences and understand how life in another place is. Also, learn new languages and practise the ones I already speak.
why am I still here? I have been hosted several times during my trip around (part of) Oceania and Asia and all of the guests proved me right. They gave me all that I was looking for and more. It is priceless to feel welcomed on the other side of the world by people who just want to help you out. I consider that the best way of giving back at least a tiny bit of the love I got, is to host people and do the same. I hope I can get a similar feeling when people find themselves relieved and happy with me, sharing chat, moments, stories and knowledge.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy reading history in order to understand the current reality. I like series. I've watched quite a few: stranger things, bates motel, lost, breaking bad, and many more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have lived in Australia for a year, which was a mind-opening experience for me. I also worked in Viet nam as an english teacher, and that showed me how happy I can be doing that. But probably the craziest was to bungyjump out of a bridge in New Zealand, or climb the Bromo volcano in Indonesia. WOW!

Teach, Learn, Share

I like languages. I speak english but the more I use it, the better. I learn german so that would be nice to practise. I l am quite fond of listening your stories, I am all ears, and I could share a bit of mine as well if you don't mind haha. Apart from that, I can show you around the city and talk about Argentina, its pros and cons, teach you spanish, Also, share my experience migrating to Australia, and how is it like to live in a foreign country, starting from scratch.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am keen to host you and guide you around this city so that you don't miss any good spot and be safe. This is an open-minded house, and that means I respect everyone regarless their kind of religion, sexual orientation or origin. I am also respectful with women. This is a harrassment-free environment. Fuck that. Let´s think forwards.
But I just demand you to be tidy, clean, careful, responsible, trustworthy and respectful. Also, to share the same conception of this platform. This is not a hotel, just a person wililng to help, which is not the same thing. Since this is not a service, it requires a sense of responsibility from the guests. You have to enjoy meeting new people, especially locals and be interested in the country you are visiting.
If you are a traveller, I understand that you might be on a budget and that is a good reason why to use this platform. It would be stupid for us hosts not to consider that. But it can definitely not be the only reason, because we are not going to have a good time and it would not be worth it. Believe me.
If you don't feel identified with my view of couchsurfing, just be a good person and we can discuss the situation.
