About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make friends from everywhere

ABOUT ME

I consider myself as a calm and easygoing person who's trying to get the most from life.
I am a student, a tech lover and a tennis player.
I enjoy life spending my time doing the things that I love.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that we are here to help each other.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love the idea of sharing, whether ideas, experiences, or even small, friendly talks.
That's why I loved this website since the very first moment I discovered it.
It's amazing how you can meet people willing to spend their time with travelers all around the world, and also willing to make new friends from this experience.
I mostly participate in chat groups, people that wants to improve their language abilities with native speakers or simply talking to each other in the new language they want to learn.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had the luck to know about this website a couple of months before my arrival in the USA.
I had planned my arrival to Aspen in the simplest way, by plane.
But after knowing about this website and its amazing people I planned again my whole arrival because I wanted to travel by train in the Rocky Mountains, from Denver to Aspen.
So I talked with couch surfers near Denver and they were the most kind, offering their time and roof to a distressed traveler.
Thanks to my friend Pat, I was able to catch the train the day after my arrival in Denver and had one of the most beautiful experiences of my life.

I used couch surfing while traveling in Europe to meet people, and go to local meetings. One more time I had a good experience with the local couch surfers, who were friendly and helpful.
This time, unlike when I was in the USA, I had plenty of time to travel and get a good insight of the places I visited, so I also met more people (some of them couch surfers, some of them not). I made good memories and good friends of my time in Europe, and some of them thanks to couch surfing.
For me, theres no complete travel adventure without meeting the local couch surfers, and I can't wait to see them back in Argentina, so I can show them around my beautiful city !

Interests

I enjoy traveling and meeting people from different places, with different languages, points of views, and different cultures.
I am an avid reader, I enjoy fantasy and detective novels most of all.
I like sports as well, specially tennis (I'm a big fan of Roger Federer), but I'm also fond of playing football with friends from time to time.
I like video games (Role Playing Games mostly) and console games as well.
