Hi all! I am Argentine, and I am a HR professional with more than 5 years of experience (my specialty is Compensations).

I'm taking a sabbatical year along my wife to travel around Europe.

I enjoy many things in life...
I love punk rock music (in fact I played bass in a band for several years).
To learn foreign languages, my native language is Spanish, but I can speak perfectly in English, I can make myself understood quite well on Portuguese and I am also studying Mandarin Chinese and French.
I love scuba diving, in fact I have an Open Water license, I also like snorkeling.
I like to watch sports, specially football and american NFL football, I'm one of the biggest fans of the New England Patriots here in Argentina.
I really enjoy playing cards, mostly poker and truco (it's a super well known card game here in Argentina).
I also love beer, food and many other things.

I'm married to Florencia, 29, also an HR professional (although unlike me, her specialty is Recruiting). She loves to have long walks along the river, doing yoga, cooking and of course the food (just like me, that's fundamental on our marriage!).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling around the world, experiencing new cultures and meeting new and interesting people, I hope to meet you soon !!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love punk rock music, I'm a big fan of Green Day, Sum 41, MxPx, Millencolin, Goldfinger, you know what I mean...
My favorite film is Man on fire, I'm a huge fan of Denzel Washington. I'm really into action films, but I can also enjoy a good comedy.
I certainly enjoy reading Stephen King's books, I have quite a few here on my apartment, I specially loved The Shining (it's so good that it made me hate Jack Nicholson's classic film).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've recorded a CD with my punk rock band (I was the bassist), the band was called Sin Condena (it could be translated as Uncondemned), and the CD is called Todo está perdido (All is lost), you can check it out here:
