I’m Argentine, from Mendoza, a psychologist and project manager. I’m deeply interested in the human experience: how people live, the stories they carry, and what happens when different worlds meet, even for a short time.

Travel has always been an important dream for me. For many years it was on hold, and now I’m starting to turn it into action. I don’t see myself as an experienced traveler, but as someone curious, respectful, and genuinely interested in learning through real human exchange.

A big part of my personal and professional path has been connected to cultural exchange environments, supporting people from other countries during their experiences in Argentina. That’s one of the reasons why I feel drawn to Couchsurfing and the kind of connections it enables.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I believe places are best understood through the people who live there. For me, Couchsurfing represents a more human way of traveling and hosting, based on trust, exchange, and curiosity.

I’m at a stage where I’m beginning to make my travel dreams real, and I want to do it authentically: meaningful conversations, simple experiences, and genuine connections. I’d much rather share a talk, a meal, or a walk than just “pass through” a place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Throughout my career, I’ve been actively involved in an international exchange organization (AIESEC). For several years, I worked as a tutor for exchange participants, supporting them during their cultural and personal adaptation while living in Argentina.

Over time, I took on leadership roles and eventually became the local president of the organization, a chapter I’m currently finishing. This experience helped me develop strong skills in communication, organization, listening, and responsible coexistence.

I also worked in hostels, mainly in operational and guest-facing roles. While I didn’t live in the hostels, this gave me daily contact with travelers from all over the world and a solid understanding of hospitality dynamics.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m a calm, curious, and reflective person. I enjoy listening, sharing ideas, and creating clear and respectful shared spaces. Honest communication is very important to me.

If you’re looking for a grounded, thoughtful, and genuine exchange, we’ll probably get along well.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’m calm, tidy, and very respectful of house rules. I adapt easily to different dynamics and don’t expect more than clear communication and a shared space with mutual respect.

I truly enjoy the exchange itself: a conversation, a shared meal, or simply coexisting without invading anyone’s space. I also fully understand what it means to work remotely from home and the need for quiet or structure.
