About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to travel to Asia, and meet asian culture face to face. I'm broadly interested in the whole continent and its people, artworks, music and specially martial arts!

ABOUT ME

I consider myself as a dreamer. A person with strong values and someone who likes to enjoy the mind-opening experience of meeting people from different countries.

My biggest passion is Kung Fu, and my job career has the goal of sustaining my life and economy while I do what I love.

I have two main phrases:

1. "As long as you won't hurt anyone, do as you wish. Nobody can tell you how to live your life."

2. "Time isn't money. You can recover your lost money, but the time you lose will never come back."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm eager to receive travelers from everywhere in the world and welcome them to Buenos Aires. Sometimes I'm too busy to travel to BA from La Plata... But if you want to have a tour around the actual capital of Buenos Aires, I'll be 100% available.

Also, I'd love to find a host in Hong Kong and meet new people. I'd like to travel at least once each year, but that's still unconfirmed.

Interests

Martial Arts, Computers, Spirituality, Asian Culture and experiencing other people's world... for I think our points of view, stances and education shapes our reality and that makes every person to create a different world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been to Hong Kong. A really magical city, full of traces of an ancient culture but yet so modern.

Seen Buenos Aires night! The street lights at midnight and the obelisk in the city of Tango.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm open to teach Spanish language to anyone willing to learn. For free, of course!

I'd like someone to give me a hand by teaching me basic Cantonese and Mandarin.

An English language practice partner is also welcome!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can show you around the areas of Buenos Aires, La Plata and some nearby places, give you advice on life here and of course some Spanish lessons for free ;)
