Overview
About Me
Hey! I have a degree in International Relations, and in September, I will start a Master's in International Development in Geneva. I was born in Barcelona, but when I was 13, my family and I moved to Argentina. I lived in Rosario until I was 27, and then I moved back to Spain. I spent the entire summer season working in Menorca, and in October, I moved to Barcelona to work at a consulting firm in the transfer pricing area.
Currently, I play for the Rosario Central women's soccer team in Barcelona, and a few months ago, I started playing padel. On weekends, I like to explore different beaches and places in my beloved Barcelona.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I choose Couchsurfing because every time I travel, I like to meet local people. This allows me to immerse in the authentic culture of the place, discover typical and traditional spots, and enjoy good food. For this reason, Couchsurfing seems like the ideal platform to me: it not only offers accommodation but also provides the opportunity to explore the destination with someone who knows the area well and is willing to show you their home and culture.
Music, Movies, and Books
I like rock, pop, and jazz. Some of my favorite books are The Picture of Dorian Gray, Nelson Mandela's autobiography, and Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. As for movies, there are many that I enjoy: Scent of a Woman, Big Fish, Forrest Gump, and Pulp Fiction.
What I Can Share with Hosts
As a guest, I can offer hosts:
1. Good company and conversation: I love meeting new people, sharing experiences and travel stories, and learning about their cultures and lives.
2. Cooking: I can prepare typical dishes from Argentina and Spain, as I have experience in both cuisines.
3. Language: I can help improve or practice Spanish.
4. Travel tips: I can offer advice and recommendations about Barcelona, Menorca, and Argentina, places where I have lived and worked.
5. Willingness to help: I am ready to assist with household chores and any other needs the host might have during my stay.
