About Me

I was born in Córdoba, Argentina, and I've been living there until the end of 2017, when I travelled to Europe, and then moved to Denmark to live and work for an year.
I've just moved to Sweden for another year. In the meanwhile, I plan to travel also some months around Europe.

In Córdoba I graduated as a Philosophy teacher, and worked as a teacher in a secondary school for two years.
But since many years ago I wanted to travel the world, so I'm commited to that right now.

I like meeting new people, from different places and cultures, and see the diversity of ways of life. It's amazing how big and diverse the world can be! And at the same time, how connected we can be to each other.

I also enjoy time on my own, and I think is something needed for everyone.

Couchsurfing is a really good way of meeting people from another countries even though one does not have the possibility to travel. But for me is a community, just to make sure: not a dating app, so if someone's looking for a tinder matches I think they're in the wrong place.

One of the best things that traveling has taught me so far, is that although the world can be a difficult place, it's also beautiful and has many things to enjoy!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I love traveling and meeting new people, as well as learning about other cultures.

Right now I'm not accepting guests at home, since I'm the one who's traveling. I've been living in Denmark for 10 months the past year, and now I'm living in Sweden at least for a few months more.

Couchsurfing is not tinder or any other date app! If you're looking for that, this is not the place and I am not the person :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I'd rather talk about this things personally, but...

Of course I love reading, I studied Philosophy.
One thing I can say is I'm fan of Tolkien's universe, including The Lord of the Rings saga.

Regarding to music, I'm keen on very differents and variable styles, and really enjoy music in all its expresions.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Live in the Artic Circle, in Sweden, for almost 3 months
The northern lights are one of the most amazing things I've seen!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm keen on language exchange. I could teach some of my mother tongue, Spanish, and have good conversations in English too.
On my last trip to Italy I could improve my italian also, staying with a sicilian family for a few days.

I have an eager mind, so I love learning new things everytime that it's possible.

I love having meaninful conversations, and knowing new things about other cultures, as well as sharing interesting things of mine.

We could also share the mate, a typical beverage from Argentina, while having a good conversation.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share with you interesting facts about my country, and the argentinian culture and way of living, as well as experiences of the places I visited travelling. Also, if you're interested or learning the language, I can help you with Spanish.

I love taking pictures so I can also share some photographies with my hosts.
If you like music, we can share some musical interests, and if you have a guitar, play and sing together.
We could also share board and card games.
