About Me

Always open to practice my language skills and learn from different cultures :D

Currently living in Frankfurt and probably moving to Berlin soon in 2024.

I lived in Argentina, Germany, Denmark and Sweden. (Open to moving to other countries in the future... maybe Japan? Who knows)

I love exploring secret alleys, meeting new people in the most unexpected places or moments and enjoy good food.

But also chilling on a couch and listening to music or whatching some movies/series is always nice.

I like photography, playing music (mainly guitar), travelling, learning new languages and talking for hours about everything.

I (sometimes) upload pics of my trips to share my experiences and beautiful landscapes with the world: www.instagram.com/quit_and_travel

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

2023 - Went to see a local band in a bar in Kathmandu and ended up playing with them 🎸😂

2022 - Celebrating Argentina's being world cup champions with random fellow argentinians in a cold winter evening in a Christmas market Germany

2021 - Living in the countryside of Sweden near Norway taking care of rescued animals and working for the first time with my hands doing some restauration works in the farm (volunteering through Workaway). I also changed my profession during this year.

2020 - Spending a month in a beautiful cabin in a forest in Sweden

2019 - Sleeping in the desert under the stars in Jordan.
Traveling by (night)train in Ukraine. Swiming in the Mediterranean sea in Crete, Greece. Having some crazy cs adventure in Bulgaria. Flew spontaneously back to argeny to visit my family and then spontaneously back to Europe to visit friends in Barcelona.

2018 - I visited both extreme north (with my dad) and south (with my mum) of my country (Jujuy and Tierra del Fuego). Rented a car and drove in Patagonia from Argentina to Chile. Hiked the Torres del Paine mountain in Chile. Camped and did some roadtripping in Iceland. Seeing my favorite band back then (Nightwish) play live in Helsinki, I waited in the line and it was at least -10°C but it was worth it because me and my friends reached the first line.
This was the year when I quit my job and said bye to my old profession to move to Europe.

2017 - Enter to Greyfriars kirk cemetary (in Edinburgh) at night. Well not that scary but fun tho 😋

2016 - Hiked to Trolltunga in Norway. It was the most amazing landscape view I have ever seen.

2015 - Did several short but beautiful trips in Argentina and Uruguay.

2014 - Amazing trip to Colombia where I made some friends from different countries I still have contact with. Among other things, I was able to see amazing wild life in Tayrona National Park and explored the beautiful Medellín, the city of eternal spring. I finally graduated from uni.

2013 - If I remembered correctly, I saw Messi for the first time playing live (in a stadium) and of course he scored.

2012 - Celebrated New year's at Copacabana beach with two good friends. After that I moved out of my parents house to an international students flat in the capital of my country and started my best adventure so far: making friends from around the world.

2011 - First time travelling to other countries.

2010 - First time travelling on a plane ✈️

2009 - Explored beautiful argentinian Patagonia with my family in winter ❄️
