My name is Damian, I grow up in Buenos Aires, Argentina. At the age of 12 i started to play music, guitar, piano and clarinet spending my time between music and electronic studies in technician school. When i was 24 (2001) years old i moved to Spain where I lived for 8 years in Granada city and then in Barcelona making music for some theater pieces and making scenography for films and advertising. In 2010 i moved back to Argentina where I live now with my girlfriend Lucila and my cat Pomez. My work now its about making furnitures in real wood and still working on movies, tv series and advertising as constructor and prop master. We love to travel to new places, learn about the local culture, cocking, read about history, listen music from baroque to techno, take analogue photography and walk without maps.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In my experience it is the best way to understand a place. The direct connection with people who are interested in how it lives in another country, region, communities, religions or cultures in this world.
Always my experience in couchsurfing was successfully.
