About Me

We are an Argentine couple (Piero and Melina) making our first journey through Europe. We’ll be looking out specially for new and strange places to visit, foods to taste and people to meet. We love listening to and playing music, singing, cooking homemade food, and drinking wine; and all of this we always like it better when we share it with friends.
We’ll be arriving in Madrid on September 3rd, and we’ll travel for almost 3 months, we have a flight From Athens to singapur on Novembre 21. Our route is not fixed, but we have a few musts: Portugal, Italy, france, Belgium, Germany, Greece.
We’d go everywhere else as well, but we also don’t want to rush it. We like blending and truly experiencing everyday life whenever we travel.
In our everyday life in Buenos Aires, Piero Works as a Musician and as a music and guitar Teacher, While Melina works as an actress and aslo has his own theatre and cultural space in Buenos Aires,
