Hello brothers and sisters! Here Agustín, born in the outsides of Buenos Aires, Argentina’s capital City and now travelling all along latin America, this magical and misterious and extremely beautiful part of the world. I am a culture lover person, always trying to learn whatever new is on the way (a curious one, it’s in my soul). Love travelling. Love reading good books, specially history, sociology, ecology, politics, philosophy, novels and tales. Love arts in general, but specially Music is my Life, love it in every single form. I am a self learnt song writer, starting to loose the shame and playing my songs to people (can check my YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/agusmendez91). I am was studying environmental engeneering before starting travelling but i would like to continue when back home. I believe that we cannot live far away from nature because we are part of it, and then i think that our first duty is taking care of it. I love loosing down into unfinishable and mystical conversations about everything! (Better among a cold beer). I LOVE cooking! But i hate recipes, i feel more comfortable when creating.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To look at the cities with the eyes of the locals and to continue making grow the travelers net around the world. I love sharing foods and musics from the places i go and from ejerce i come from.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some music (i was travelling with my instrument but i have it no more, so if you have a guitar or ukelele we can play some!), some physics and Chemistry and share my little Knowledge of permaculture and ecology. I can share some hand-made argentinian pizza and pasta and plenty of talking! But also silence. I would like to share walkings around and lay on the grass in any parc.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Can share one year of travelling stories, share some of my music if you have a guitar and cook some typical food of my place. Would like also to share long talkings.
