I graduated as an Architect in 2014, and I'm passionate about design, and the Idea of creating and building things. Professional and hard-worker, I like doing things the best possible way that can be done.

Some time ago, I spent a few months living in México, and since then on and after a couple of trips, I've learned that meeting new people and places is one of the best things in the world. That's why I would like to spend some time living and working abroad, specially in English-speaker countries.

PHILOSOPHY

-"A relationship is a bridge that should be mantained from both sides."-

-"Anything can be said to anybody, you only have to find the best and respectful way to say it."-

-"There will never be a second opportunity for a good first impression"-

MY PLACE IN THE WORLD

Any place when I can share a beer and a talk with friends. I love the combination of those three things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Even when I'm pretty new here, I'm sure is an excellent way to know people, countries, cultures, and learn & teach from first-hand experiences.

In a very connected society like the one we live-in, It would be a pity not to learn from everything around, and waste the opportunity of roaming the world.

Interests

Sports (mainly soccer and tenis), books, guitar and movies. Each thing has its charming, and boosts your learning about life.

Spending little but amazing moments of talking, hanging around with friends or just reading or spending time by myself.

I love watching and listening. I love analyzing small things.

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC

-Jack Johnson / Maroon 5 / Bruno Mars / Coldplay / Keane

I think the music should go along with the moment. Different melodies help creating different atmospheres and bringing magic to each moment.

MOVIES

A hundred of them. I love watching movings and sitcoms.

I share this line from "Good will Hunting" - Excellent movie:

"So if I asked you about art, you'd probably give me the skinny on every art book ever written. Michelangelo, you know a lot about him. Life's work, political aspirations, him and the pope, sexual orientations, the whole works, right? But I'll bet you can't tell me what it smells like in the Sistine Chapel. You've never actually stood there and looked up at that beautiful ceiling; seen that. If I ask you about women, you'd probably give me a syllabus about your personal favorites. You may have even been laid a few times. But you can't tell me what it feels like to wake up next to a woman and feel truly happy. You're a tough kid. And I'd ask you about war, you'd probably throw Shakespeare at me, right, "once more unto the breach dear friends." But you've never been near one. You've never held your best friend's head in your lap, watch him gasp his last breath looking to you for help. I'd ask you about love, you'd probably quote me a sonnet. But you've never looked at a woman and been totally vulnerable. Known someone that could level you with her eyes, feeling like God put an angel on earth just for you. Who could rescue you from the depths of hell. And you wouldn't know what it's like to be her angel, to have that love for her, be there forever, through anything,..."

BOOKS

-As a child I used to read Sherlock Holmes.

-I had my Harry Potter Period (I think is amazing how J.K.Rowling could fit all the characters, places, magic and mysteries in a perfect lined story)

-Almost all John Kastzenbach's (Apart from "The Analyst" and "The Madman Tale", the others seem to be more of the same).

-Eduardo Sacheri. I love his books. He can capt the passion of the argentinian Soccer fan and put it into a book so you can feel it.

-The Little Prince, one of the best books I ever read.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living in Mexico was an Amazing thing for me, and I keep learning about that experience everyday.

Teach, Learn, Share

TEACH-LEARN

You always learn such more from the others that what you can teach. By sharing moments and contrasting opinions and ideas is the best way of being a good student and teacher at the same time.

SHARE

-I'm a very good listener. I've learned that often, someone who listen at you use to be what you need the most.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love talking and even more listening. I believe that little but charming moments are the key in time-spending.

I can share my house, my ideas, my music, my movies. All the little things I've collected through these years will be at your disposal.

Countries I’ve Visited
