ABOUT ME

I like the smell of wet earth after rain. Full moon nights. Maps. To spread pepper over chocolate mousse. Comfortable shared silences. Roads. Tango. Cinnamon smell. Languages, even if I don't understand them. Senseless fits of laughter. Orange skies. An old cookbook. Hammocks. My tea ritual. To sit on the floor. The sound of rain over tin ceilings. A cup of well done dark strong coffee. Knowing glances in a crowded place. Big shaped clouds. Echoes. Empty beaches in winter. To listen rather than to talk. Thunders that make windows shake. To look into the eyes. To feel comfortable with that. Vanilla candles. Handwritten letters. True smiles. The last phrase of a book. Travel with friends. Travel with someone. Travel with myself. Travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I discovered CouchSurfing thank's to Pau , my friend and future traveller partner. And I participate trying to host, meet people at my city, having nice chats and shared moments. Actually...I´m loving CS meetings ;) I think the project is incredible!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In fact, my CS experience is a little poor, but not for that reason less interesting!

During my trip in February 2008 through Brasil with Pau, Melu and Marine we've stayed in the Recife CS base, thanks to the amiability of Karina and Beni. I had such an amazing time those few days! It was my first experience and encouraged me to continue with this incredible community!

Also in Brasil, I went to some CS meetings in Salvador, Recife and Olinda. Shared really nice talks and foods and drinks...

In October 2009 I hosted Marina. Really positive experience!

And in March 2010 Meeki arrived to my place and shared some lovely days

From New Zealand and with lovely stories Sean stayed here in June and it was great

Interesting and nice were the gatherings and the people I met at my city. YEAP!

And finally I'm happy right now because Bahia Blanca's group is starting taking life. I hope it gets bigger, and bigger and bigger every day.

Interests

I'm interested in books, music, films, I love cooking ( a good meal and a good wine...a good plan! )and all kind of cultural activities, and most of all in traveling, of course!!

Oh...and lately: trying to play the guitar and taking tango lessons. Loving both. But I've warned you: "trying".

Teach, Learn, Share

Ok. I grew up in Coronel Suarez So if you need some information about my lovely childhood city just ask for it.

I live in Bahia Blanca . Bahia Blanca it's not a tourist destination, but if you are visiting my city, and you want to talk with someone, contact me! I'm not an expert in languages, but I think you will understand me. It's a great challenge!

Mmm...I don't know if teaching would be the right word?! but I can share my kind of enjoyment about cooking!
