FULLY VACCINATED!!

ABOUT ME

Im a business administrator and I have also a second degree in Information systems.
I work in a company with owns 3 Casinos and I'm in charge of the Gaming Analytics area.

I joined Couchsurging in 2006, when I decided to quit my position at IBM to travel for 7 months with 2 friends, touring Europe and Asia, visiting more than 100 cities in 17 countries.

Since the end of november 2006 I'm in Buenos Aires and I returned to the routine, but trying to brake with it as often as possible.

I'm a simple person who loves to practice sports (paddle, football, tennis), watch movies/series, enjoy a good meal with wine or beer but most important with people who really cares, and I also love to listen music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed lot of places during my trip around Europe and Asia in 2006 and I enjoyed all of them. In 2010 I had new exeperiences in a new short trip to Europe. At home, I've hosted a few people (I live in a very small appartment) but the experiences were great too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had my first CS experience on May of 2006, with Corrado Nizzola in Stuttgart and it was great! After that I've surfed several times in many countries and each one was a unique and fantastic experience!!

Interests

Know people from other cultures/countries, travel and feel free, without too many schedules. Play sports (soccer, tennis, paddle), technology, go to the cinema, listen music, play piano and guitar (well, at least try to do it), share, dream, play, enjoy!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In July of 2005 I jumped in parachute, it was something really amazing.
In 2005 I got my PADI Dive License, and I dive in Thailand, that was something incredible, the beauty of the sea life, I couldn't believe that. Also that year I dive with wales in Puerto Madryn... really exciting!!! I've been diving sporadically since then in places like Belize and México.
During 7 months in 2006 I made a long trip around Europe and Asia, visiting more than 100 cities in 17 different countries, doing more than 45.000 km by land. During that trip I...
- Visited the "real" Paris Catacombs

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach? mmm Spanish, some songs to play in Guitar or Piano, I can teach you to play Paddle, but I'm afraid that most of you haven't heard about that sport before, I can teach you Excel / PowerBI but that's maybe too boring.
Learn: I would like to be a better chef, a better photographer, a better guitar player...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories of several trips I've made, we can talk about life and have fun together. I'm a really easy going person and I consider myself very open and talkative.
