ABOUT ME

I am a European from Buenos Aires (or an Argentine living in Europe?). As for my personality, I am one of those people who take three books for every trip, skim through the first four pages of each and end up reading someone else's novel. I also put people into boxes and then love to see my prejudices burn to ashes when they act in an unexpected way. I enjoy cooking, a good conversation and a nice windy day. I don't enjoy speaking on the phone and making lots of plans. I also feel that writing about myself is very awkward: I'd much rather meet in person!

PHILOSOPHY

Moderation and doubt - I've never been too sure about a single thing and try not to be serious about most things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I really like the idea of getting to know a place you travel to by getting to know its people, so I think couchsurfing is the perfect way to do that. My brother has been a couchsurfer for a while now, and he has got a ton of cool stories and experience doing it, so I thought I'd give it a try.
I feel that CS is not just a website to get a free couch; every CS experience is so much more.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted a bunch of people in France (through my flatmate at the time), in Oslo, Beirut and Cairo - all great experiences...I surfed a few couches while traveling through Austria, Germany, Norway, Armenia, Turkey, Georgia, Estonia, and Israel, where I always felt welcome.
