About Me

从2023在成都

CURRENT MISSION

to be in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania on groundhog day

ABOUT ME

About me? Mmm.... I'm a very reflective, positive and funny person who always tries to look at the bright side. I like meeting people, sharing experiences, talking about travelling, music, films, history.

I'm an archaeologist, currently doing a PhD, my research takes place in NW Argentina, where I go at least once a year. I love football, I play for my university team and I also play it with my friends.

I'm addicted to music, I love rock, blues, and heavy, I go to gigs very often and I'm currently playing in two bands:

@explotamarte
which is hard and heavy rock
@loswiggers
in which we play ballads from the 50/60s

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I can share with you the love that I feel for this city. Sometimes it can be a little bit chaotic, but it's also magical

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My experiences in CS were amazing, I had a great time hosting people and showing the city to them. People traveling through CS are not tourists, they want to be part of it, active people in the city they're visiting, it's different than only taking pictures at the most famous sights.
