Living in Buenos Aires again (where I grow up) after have lived for 9 years in Mar Azul, a small town in the atlantic cost of Argentina, where I was a volunteer firefighter. I am passionate about dancing tango, if you want to take classes and go to "milongas" in Buenos Aires, glad to help you. Fortunately I work mostly from home, managing commercial and designing matters of a small company that I co-founded (manufacter eco bags). I also host people at home! I love animals, specially my dog-daughter Luna, and nature. I like to meet friends, share some beers or a good wine, but I hate places where you have to shout instead of speaking. I enjoy to observe nature, birds, animals, landscapes, people and other little amazing things. I think that the only way to travel is to meet interesting people who love their places. People are the variable that the business of turism can´t control, and the only one that can still surprise you.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Because I like to know cities through the people. I think that turism as it is tradicionally done is boring and empty of the real culture, feelings and thoughts. Share some meal, good conversations and go for a city walk or meet local friends, are special things that really can be possible through CS.
Music, Movies, and Books
MUSIC: I am a fan of TANGO, but also like rock, jazz, blues, folk, bossa. I love live music, any kind. Adios Nonino (Astor Piazzola) - watch this and die happy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTPec8z5vdY Literature: Borges, Cortazar, Arlt, Benedetti. Sábato, Hess, Kafka, etc., etc, etc. Movies: Please, recommend me a really good movie. I am very tired of watching bad ones.
