About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Learn. Grow. Laugh. Fail. Get hurt. Recover. Laugh again. Learn more.

ABOUT ME
I like the way I live, though I keep on changing it all the time.
After moving a bunch of times throughout Spain, I did my Computer Science Engineering in Madrid.
I've been painting, playing music, writing and doing theatre since I was a child. I studied photography when I was 16 years old, I started a photography group, I participated in a theatre group as actress, director, scene and dress designer, and I spend my time drawing and painting all the things that I can imagine.
My way of life is the creativity, which is why I love programming, and all the things that can be accomplished with technology. It also scares me a bit, if I'm honest.
Anyway, I love computer science, and science in general.
Since I'm a child I've had something pretty clear: I want to live the world. I need to travel, but not just visiting places, I need to stay, to live there for some time, to know other countries in a deeper way.
I did that in Argentina, then in India, where I kinda got entertained and started my own startup. We work really hard to convince India to start sharing rides to office, and it's proven to be a really difficult challenge.
Just how I like them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because, to be honest, it's expensive to travel there are too many good things in people that you tend to miss when you travel to places instead. Right now I can only offer my help to spend some time around knowing the city... As I'm now in a moving period, I don't have any couch to share.

Interests

Art. India. Drawing. Photography. Photographers. Theatre. Funny Jokes. Long haired men. Good books. Nice comics. Music. Bansuri. Guitar. History. Heavy Metal. Nice and interesting people. Nature.
