I'm a product designer living in the Bay Area. It's a fancy term for helping design and develop apps for web, smartphones and the like. On my spare time, I love to travel and explore new destinations, go on adventurous hikes, read books on my Kindle, and hope to gain a deeper understanding of the human experience by connecting with new people.

I'd like to think that I'm a very easy-going person and do my best to respect the homes of my hosts. I think it's a social responsibility to be kind and do right by others whenever possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Primarily, it is to connect with interesting individuals and learn more about my environment and culture in which I am visiting.

Couchsurfing is my favorite way to get to meet new people. I've made long time friends through the service and it's amazing how much there is to learn from just having a conversation with someone and sharing perspectives.

Interests

Backpacking, hiking, reading Murakami books, learning new design techniques, working with tech startups, playing Nintendo games.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was once a top 5th player in Super Smash Brothers Melee (video game) in California. I would travel to compete for cash and prizes. It's very geeky :/

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach ALL things computers and technology! (well, a wide gamut of things). This can be anything from troubleshooting devices to making a website or blog, or designing visuals or a bit of programming.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll admit off the bat that I'm not the greatest cook, but I would love to give back by helping with repairs around the house, treating my hosts to meals, and any general house cleaning to be done.

Countries I’ve Lived In

Argentina, United States
