Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My CS experience has been just amazing, after hosting some travellers and also surfed other's couches I can't imagine antother way to travel... I don't want to have any more the typical tourist-experience, I just want more insight of each culture and its people. I am amazed by the fact that I have been treated as family while being far away from home, I love the fact that we all have so much things in common no matter where you were born. I love this global community, I love we share a common way of thinking, I love to find kindness without asking nothing in return. I have enriched my mind and soul with the company of every person that I have met through this project.

Interests

as Jules said in Pulp Fiction movie:

Jules: I'll just walk the earth.
Vincent: What'cha mean walk the earth?
Jules: You know, walk the earth, meet people... get into adventures. Like Caine from "Kung Fu."

I love photography; I wish I could improve and study more, nowadays is a hobby that I pretty much enjoy.
I also like reading, general culture, music, art, and of course... travelling...

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of music, from classical to salsa, rock, balads, drums. I love reading as well, currently reading by second time 'Rayuela' (Julio Cortazar, Argentinian writer) and 'Las venas abiertas de Lationamerica (Galeano, Uruguayan author)
I very much enjoy Latin American literature but I am interesting in any enlightening book.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- I visited the Uyuni Salt Flats in Bolivia (you have to go there at least once in your lifetime)

- I climbed Huayna Picchu nevertheless the rain, I felt so alive.

- I got lost in Manhattan, NYC :p

- I jumped from a Bridge in Merlo (San Luis, Argentina) it is called 'puenting'- from the word 'bridge' in Spanish, almost bungee jumping, but not the same. I started laughing and I couldn't release my hands from the bridge... the adrenaline was incredible.

- Went to see the Opera in Milano, to the Teatro della Scala. (très chic! oh la la) I didn't get what the story was about :p but the mise en scène and the music were beautiful.
