Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Learning, helping, sharing - Doing my part to make the world a better place...
ABOUT ME
I was born and raised in Argentina, and in 2006 I moved to Europe. I've lived in Ireland and now reside in Valencia, Spain.
I've been fortunate enough to travel the world with my backpack, meeting amazing people, exploring different cultures, and seeing life from many perspectives. I love the diversity of our planet and deeply respect different ways of thinking and living.
I learned the saying - While in Rome, do as Romans do...
PHILOSOPHY
Treat others as you want to be treated. :-)
Love it, leave it, or change it.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Sharing is caring...
I enjoy hosting travelers whenever I can, participating in CS events and meetups, and connecting with people from all over the world.
Interests
I love cooking, sharing meals with friends, dancing, playing guitar, outdoor activities, learning new languages, reading, sports, traveling, and discovering new things.
Some of my favorite hobbies include bachata, gardening, cycling, hiking, camping, trekking, forró, exploring new places, and exploring different rhythms like salsa.
