About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life, and meet cool people!

ABOUT ME

I have a beautiful family that involves my mother Moni, my father Gus, my sister Delfi and my two brothers Agu and Ciri. They have tought me many things in life and I really enjoy spending time with them every time i visit them in my hometown.

I enjoy travelling and meeting new cultures and costumes. Not just taking touristy pictures of nice landscapes, even though thats sometimes nice to! haha

I love music! I think is the best way to comunicate your feelings, it doesnt matter where you come from! Cause music is the universal language.
I play alto saxophone and at the moment i have an amazing ska/cumbia band called Radio Rebelde.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything Flows!!

Even though it was Heraclitus who said this a looooong time ago, i take this as my day to day philosophy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Now im just surfing around, but i would be pleased to give it back hosting people at home.
When possible, i also go to the monthly meetings held in La Plata.
I used to attend to a CS English class, and ended up organising it!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Ive been hosted in many countries so far, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, China, Italy, Hong Kong...and everytime i got the best out of each place, i love CS, because you get the chance to meet a different point of view not only from the city you are visiting but algo the people living there.

Interests

I study Industrial Design, and i try to make it the main activity in my life. I enjoy travelling a lot! I wish i had more time for that but now im focused on finishing my career.
I enjoy a really nice book, and going out for a beer. Im not a club kind of person, i d rather enjoy a quiet talk on a bar or something, but sometime im in the mood for partying.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Waiheke Island, New Zealand. It's such an awesome place, people is just AMAZING. If you like beaches, good wines and GOOD VIBES you should definitley go there! It's an experience you'll neeeeever forget!

Teach, Learn, Share

Im good with puzzles. So, if you want to challenge your own mind, and try to think outside the box, i can tell you some that will give you a couple of hours to burn some neurones.
