About Me

A firm believer in celebrating diversity and creating inclusive spaces where everyone feels welcome. Born and raised in Córdoba, I love sharing the rhythms of music, the art of cooking, and the excitement of exploring new ideas with fellow travelers.

When I'm not diving into sociology, scif-fi, political sciences, or the latest sci-fi novel, you can find me capturing moments behind my camera lens or embarking on culinary adventures.

My home is your home—I want every guest to feel comfortable and at ease. Whether you're eager to hit the town and dance the night away or prefer a low-key evening of great conversation, I'm happy to adapt. While I'm not the biggest outdoorsman, I'm always game for new experiences, especially if they involve getting to know my guests better!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This community si, for me, fostering meaningful connections and creating a global community where diversity is celebrated. I'm here to open my home and heart to fellow travelers, to swap stories, share laughter, and learn from one another.

I deeply value inclusivity, and I'm passionate about creating a safe and welcoming space for all guests, regardless of their background or identity. I believe that by sharing our unique perspectives and experiences, we can break down barriers, challenge stereotypes, and cultivate empathy.

Beyond just providing a place to stay, I'm excited to be your guide to Córdoba's vibrant culture, hidden gems, and culinary delights. Whether we're exploring the city's rich history, debating the latest sociological theories, or whipping up a traditional Argentinean meal together, I'm all about forging authentic connections.

Let's swap stories, learn from each other, and create unforgettable memories together!

Interests

Food is my jam! I'm always down to try new recipes or hunt for the tastiest spots in town. Cooking is like my love language—nothing beats whipping up a big feast and sharing it with friends, old and new. It's the best way to swap stories and learn about different cultures. Plus, who doesn't love a good adventure?

When I'm not in the kitchen or showing off Córdoba's hidden gems to my Couchsurfing guests, you can probably find me geeking out over social sciences. I'm that guy who can spend hours debating about society, politics, and all the weird and wonderful ways humans interact.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Celebrating New Year's Eve in Rio de Janeiro—it was an experience of a lifetime. The energy, the fireworks, and the majestic Iguazú Falls left me speechless!

Learn: I'm a collector of knowledge—from life-changing insights to quirky trivia, everything’s a treasure.
