Hi! My name is Santiago and I´m 26. Right now I´m studying English at Florida State University. I'm finalizing my journalism degree at University of Buenos Aires.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I love meeting new people and knowing places by local people ´s recommendation. People who are from the place you are visiting are the best to advice you on what is fun to do and what is not worth. Also, they can tell you about good places that are not famous.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Camping on the Island of the Sun at the Titicaca Lake (Bolivia). One amazing and priceless experience.

BBQ at Dique San Agustin Valle Fertil ,San Juan (Argentina). Argentinean Mountains and their fresh air, a dam to swim in. A great place to enjoy. I arrived there with some friends at 10 am and we left at 10 pm. Is neat The Moon´s Valley, another beautiful place to know.

Visiting Rio de Janeiro. One of the most incredible cities I ever been to. It has everything. Nice beaches, mountains, rainforest, amazing architecture, bars, an incredible culture.

Seeing Sao Paulo City from the Banespa Tower. Once you get to see that, you will never forget how huge and colossal that city is.

Teach, Learn, Share

The great thing about travelling is that we learn about different people and cultures, but we also learn about our customs and our countrymen. Is fascinating how different and at the same time similar humans beings can be.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my point of view and things from my country. Also I can share some good card games and a lot of good movies.
