About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet new horizons. Find a place in BS AS with good cheap sushi. One thing leads to another. I don't know...

ABOUT ME

Personal description. Ok. I was born in Buenos Aires and I lived here since I was zero years old. I have studied music and film. I spent most of my time doing music. Yes. Working free-lance as a sound designer in theater plays, films, art installations, etc... making soundtracks, composing, that kind of stuff. Sometimes I also work as a camera-man in music gigs. I'm actually making music for theater and recording for a band. I play soccer to keep me healthy. I eat a lot of corn flakes and oranges with the same purpose.
Things that I enjoy: go out with friends, go in with friends, have a good beer, have a good dinner, have amazing dinners, cinema, watching rare films, trying to take good pictures with an obsolete camera, buying super 8 films, walking on weekends through a fair with loads of unuseful things from past decades, buying used retro clothes, sushi, whiskey, acoustic indie gigs in small tiny houses, listening to free classical music concerts on wednesday at 1.00 pm, swiming in the river...
As you can see, I enjoy a lot of things.
Yes.
Is that ok for a personal description?
Do I need to keep on saying things?
I like cats. Have four of them.
I like dogs but I dislike when they bark loud.

PHILOSOPHY

Always try to find new perspectives.

"Don't get bored." An important thing to remember.

"Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him."
Aldous Huxley, "Texts and Pretexts"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Offering my middle comfort couch and if possible a bed. Going for a walk in this nice neighborhood I am living. Having a cool beer.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I can honestly say I only met wonderful people through Couchsurfing. I don't know if I'm being lucky...
Shinjoo stayed here for a week, Ieva came all across the ocean right to my home, Farah from Wales was here, I also met Lulú and Anastasia through CS. French pal Martin was our last visit.

I've seen Geraldine Chaplin performing live. That qualifies as amazing.
