About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Experience, Learn, Grow

ABOUT ME

I'm spontaneous, bold, fun, and daring! I am keen to expand my view of the world by getting to know different cultures. I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina and moved to the States at a young age. After high school, I spent a year in Paris and had the opportunity to visit many European countries. I then moved to Boston to study, and did a semester abroad in Gold Coast, Australia.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that happiness is a state of mind; having a positive mindset is the key.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In Paris I met a few people for coffee/drinks and went to some CS parties.

I couchsurfed for the first time in Berlin.

I hosted a few people in Boston and had a great time! They were all fantastic guests and I really enjoyed hearing their stories. Hosting people is like being on vacation at home! It's a ton of fun and I hope to be able to host many more guests.

I hitchhiked across Australia with a fellow Couchsurfer Check out my video!
