About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to travel the world to know other cultures, meet new people. I believe in human hospitality and that we can all speak the same language

ABOUT ME

I am a very outgoing person. I grew up in different cities so I know how to adapt in new places. The last years of highschool I lived in Patagonia, extremely nice.
Then I lived 11 years in Buenos Aires, one of my favourite cities. In Europe I lived briefly in Ireland and Italy and then 4 years in the lovely Barcelona. Since September 2018 living the dream in London. There are still so many places I haven't been and people I haven't met yet, so very excited for that :)

PHILOSOPHY

Friends and family are my pilars in life.

Hi! It's me, the girl from the bus. Remember, the last tour. Well... Information is not knowledge, knowledge is not wisdom, wisdom is not true, true is not beauty, beauty is not love, love is not music, music...IS THE BEST (Zappa)

Argentina!, música, cantar, río, verde, reír hasta llorar, el viento y el sol en la cara, cantar, bailar, familia, amigos, cantar, viajar, leer, aprender, estudiar, cantar, ser feliz =), SOY FELIZ!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Active. I am up for meeting up with people in London, I would love to host but my flatmates don't like it. By now I know the city pretty well but it always keeps changing and we can discover places together as well! I used to host in BA when I lived alone and plan to do it when I live by myself again :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I love it, it has given me the best experiencies when travelling, and showing my city and my culture to travellers.

Interests

I love music, theatre, movies, everything related to art. I really like hanging out with my friends, go out to hear some bands or drink some beers. I love meeting new people. I think London it's simply amazing.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: The way home. The color purple. Empire of the Sun. And lots of argentinian movies, our films make me proud of my country.
Music: rock, jazz, blues, funk. LOVE MUSIC IN GENERAL. I know many bands, going to concerts at least twice a month is what I most enjoy.
Books: Rosshalde. All books from Herman Hesse. Rayuela from Julio Cortázar.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had the chance to visit Fethiye in Turkey, which is my favourite beach so far.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to show the culture from Argentina, Barcelona and now London. I would really like to show how a local lives.
I am hungry for other cultures :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like bringing some food for my country and some music or book as well if this is something you may be interested in. I am very proud of my home country and I will also love to learn from yours. We are also the current world football champions 🤩
