So far I have gotten along well in general with: refugees, dancers, mathematicians, medical doctors, musicians, artists, woodworkers, builders, and those " traveling by providence" (using no/minimal money). I'm delighted to add more.

I am currently in quite a nomadic existence and often spend time in Berlin, Gorzow , Montevideo and Barcelona. I can probably manage to host in any of them; usually have a couch I can spare, but also happy to split bigger Airbnb houses or apartments with other people working and traveling.

My long term goal is helping in furthering the understanding of humanity; in particular collective cognition, how we perceive and think together about the world. A short text that shaped my understanding of how to live life was: http://bactra.org/Spinoza/TIE/

A passage that resonates with me is:
“the critical issue is reciprocity - being truly felt and heard by those around us, feeling that we’re held in someone else’s mind and heart for our physiology to heal and grow, we need a visceral feeling of safety. no doctor can write a prescription for friendship and love”. (The body keeps the score)

I was born and raised in Buenos Aires. I love long walks and conversations with interesting strangers, some of which have turned into excellent friendships. I find human group behaviour endlessly fascinating, and enjoy both very ethnographic as well as very quantitative perspectives on it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've spent a lot of time surfing friends couches, and have some amazing memories from hosting people. One thing I enjoy is it adds diversity to the people that I interact with.

I'm very keen to host people that like making things. So if you are keen to paint, code, draw, dance, play music, build/recycle furniture/boats/shelters, or braid hair, do mention it!
