Overview
About Me
I was born in Argentina but moved to Venezuela when I was 6 (not that I'm some precocious adventurer, my parents took us there!) We came back to Argentina , finished high school here and then got into an American univeristy to major in aeronautical engineering, where I had the chance to meet people from all around the world. So even though I'm a bit of an introvert, there's a reason it's easier for me to engage with people from other countries!
I'm currently living in Buenos Aires working as an engineer. I've always been more inclined to the natural sciences but some years ago I became interested in the humanities as well, so I started reading literature, philosophy, social science and psychology texts. At first I really got into Jungian psychology, but that was just a phase. Now I'm majoring in Philosophy at the University of Buenos Aires and loving it!
I like all kinds of foods; also beer, wine and coffee
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
On my next trip to New Zealand I'm going by myself, so I think Couchsurfing is a great way of meeting new people along the way
