Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Expand my mind, getting to know other cultures, getting to know myself. Finding my place in this beautiful world.
ABOUT ME
I´m very kind and polite; i believe in respect and good manners. I´m pretty tidy and like to keep everything clean.
I´m a great listener =) I love to hear people speaking in english or other languages that are not my native one.
I am 1/4 Spanish, 1/4 Italian and 1/2 Japanese, so I grew up between a mix of cultures, which I find very enriching!
I like to stay healthy, so I am not into smoking of any kind or doing drugs.
But I do love sweet things! Specially cakes!
Training and learning new skills is definitely my favorite thing in life. I’ve done Martial arts (Kung Fu, TaiChi, BaGua) and some acrobatic/circus stuff. I would love to share some knowledge if you are interested!
I love animals, so I am ok with Pets if you have any. I would be pleased to have them around.
The last 5 years I’ve been traveling a lot and what I’ve enjoyed the most was meeting great people all over the world! It truly feels like we are all one big family.
PHILOSOPHY
I think learning is the main purpose of life. I believe that personal growth and transforming yourself into a better version of yourself is one of the most important things. We should all try to give the best of us to the world.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I believe the best way of really knowing a city is through local people who can share their daily life and experiences and not only the touristic spots.
I think CouchSurfers are a great community of open minded people who have travelled and seen a lot, so I know I can learn so much with any of you!
Interests
My main interests are Chinese Martial Arts (wushu). I love training taolu, taiji and bagua!
I would really like to travel to China for some intense training! I would also like to meet and train with other martial artists in every city I visit.
I am very interested in Japanese and Chinese culture in general.
I studied architecture, so im very into visiting new cities. I love medieval architecture.

Music, Movies, and Books
I don't have a favorite genre or artist. Although I could mention some names such as : Florence and the Machine, Ellie Goulding, Of Monsters and Men, Linkin Park ( great for training)..
I also enjoy some chill out music when I am working on something.
Movies: I really enjoy fantasy movies, I love the visual effects. I also like Medieval themed movies. I could mention : Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Avatar, and so many others.
I also watch others genres to chill out, such as comedy or romance. But almost never horror or dramas.
Books: I am not a great reader, but I really enjoy mystery books! Such as The Rule of four, The davinci code, or others.
I also liked the Divergent series.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Visited 25 countries so far!
Teach, Learn, Share
I am willing to teach and share whatever you may find interesting in me, such as Argentinian culture, Spanish, or Chinese Martial Arts, specially Taiji.
I would love to learn about your city and your stories! Specially if you have travelled a lot. I am also interested in different languages.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share my kindness, my culture, and my gratitude. I would love to share a meal or two and to spend time to get to know each other a bit!
I also enjoy cleaning =)
