CURRENT MISSION

Trying to make our world a better place to live, and become a better person in the process

ABOUT ME

I can't say I'm a simple girl... I'm extremely active and have lots of friends, but I enjoy my moments of quiet and silence being alone. I'm going through a beautiful time of my life, learning new things and new people all the time.
I work in a cooperative proyect with two other photographers and I'm starting to be a teacher in other educational proyects.
I live with my parents, my little brother and 3 amazing cats in Buenos Aires, not in downtown but not so far away.

PHILOSOPHY

My favorite quote is: "Somos lo que hacemos para cambiar lo que somos" (We are what we do to change what we are), that belongs to Eduardo Galeano. Being free and happy with others is my main aim, and solidarity one of the most important values I expect.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The only two couchsurfing experiences I've already had were amazing! Both were in the city of Salvador, Bahía, Brazil. Salvador is not an easy city, so it was great to have expert eyes to see through difficulties.

Interests

As a photographer, my main interest is documentary photography. This implies a special look at things and people, always approaching them with the respect and value they deserve. That's why I'm interested in everything related to culture, history and ideology of the people and places I visit.
In my personal life, I enjoy, in addition to taking photographs, dancing, listening to music and reading literature. And, of course, spending time with my friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being in Cuba for fifteen days in 2013. One of the best experiencies of my entire life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my photography knowledge with anyone who wants to learn (better if they have a camera!). Of course I can try to teach spanish and some english, and then some clues to understand how western modern societies work (thanks to sociology)
