About Me

Hi! I am Javier I am a very chill person but at the same time with a great adventurous spirit. I like to adapt to the environment and always make people feel comfortable. I like to chat and share time with people. I think life is about having experiences so I am an open-minded and adventure-minded person. So I always have a yes ready!

I went through a lot of experiences, hunting auroras (North Lights) in a camper in Iceland 🇮🇸, skydiving with an avocado pajamas in Uruguay 🇺🇾, scuba diving at 40mts in the Blue Hole in Egypt 🇪🇬, becoming rescue diver in Malaysia 🇲🇾 and be the pit crew in a jungle rally race, diving at 40mts in Indoensia 🇮🇩 I saw the biggest fish 🐟 in the world Mola-Mola or moonfish, snowboarding disguised as a unicorn on Patagonia 🇦🇷, made 11 hitchhiked in one day including with trucks in Armenia 🇦🇲, I did yoga in the himalayas 🇮🇳, taking cooking classes in Thailand 🇹🇭, jump from a bridge in Omman 🇴🇲, getting lost in the Sahara desert in Morocco 🇲🇦, saving a stranger's life doing CPR in the street, windsurfing in every beach where I see a sail that I can borrow or rent, went to Qatar 🇶🇦 for world cup final and see Argentina become a champion! 🏆 and many more adventures!

Currently I am learning sign language (ASL) 👂🫶🤟

Have you ever thought about what is the minimum amount of stuff you need to travel? I decided to look for this answer and I traveled more than 120 days with a 6kg backpack.

I currently work remotely, so sometimes I travel with my notebook and look for spaces with Wifi to work during the weekdays. Maybe when I'm writing you I'm on vacation, or working, but what difference does it make?

I come from a small town in Argentina called Bahía Blanca.

With me you won't have any problems or surprises. Respect and care are my rules of life.

Music, Movies, and Books

I can tell you about the books, music and movies that I like and that you probably know, many things are in Netflix or Spotify but I think the greatest value that I can give you is to share with you those things that are from Argentina and that I enjoy sharing as Tango, some folklore, rock. Also movies and books by Argentine authors. Go some links!

Carlos Di Sarli, aka "The Lord of Tango", he was orchestra conductor, composer and pianist and born in the same city as me, Bahía Blanca

Now, let's Rock!
May be one of the best rock band of Latin America, with tracks from 1980 but still present with much power
"Soda Stereo"

A pure rock band, a very very very strong ADN Argentino! DIVIDIDOS!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Save a dog's life, when it was drowning in a very cold lake in Patagonia (San Martin de los Andres) in winter.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to teach and learn! I can tell you a lot of things about programming, for example we can create a web site in a few minutes. I have already said, but it is a passion, I can tell you everything I know about cooking en Argentina. I know a few steps of Tango! With me comes all Argentina's culture: music, food, movies, books and photos!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook for you!
