I used to feel weird about describing myself as a writer, but if I have to say something about me, then that's the first true thing. I love it even when I hate it. I also love to sing, and that is just fresh pure joy. I used to sing a choir back in Argentina, and I'm always searching for partners in crime to do covers and duets. I'm finishing my PhD in Literature undertaking a research stay in Copenhagen, Denmark. After that I'm gonna take some time for travelling, writing, and hopefully learning an instrument. I'm used to communal life / making a home wherever I go, so this is a great opportunity to meet new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Short-term, I'm looking for a place to stay in Berlin, since I'll be attenting a Literature conference for a few days, and would love for someone to show me around / host me in their home :)
