I'm Facundo , Born in Buenos Aires suburbs, Argentina. I have been travelling since 2010, with my first backpacking trip through Latin America. After that i came back to Buenos Aires for some years to work and then to Australia to work and my first trip to South East Asia (which really messed my head up). After SEA, i started working in Patagonia seasonally and after the season i went back to SEA, Latin America . Now without permanent residency, living half in Patagonia, half elsewhere. Working in tourism but looking for an occupational change.
I have been on a long term relationship with my girlfriend Daniela for more than 10 years now, have learned and grew a lot together.
As of today, i am finishing what i think will be my last season in Patagonia, and starting to organize moving to Asia for some time. The idea is firstly go to Japan to study for 1 year, but the magnetic influence SEA has on me may change my plans. So i`m letting it go and go with the flow, focused on my present and not creating big expectations.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Re connect with people again & make new friends.
On my first backpacking trip, we didnt have laptops or phones, so our tools would be an old guidebook and our ability to relate and socialize, which lead to unexpected pleasant encounter and talks with fellow travellers, local people, it was quite enriching.
the last couple of years, i have been feeling disconnected from other people and travellers, and working on my own with my laptop, has made it quite difficult to meet new people and share together.
I am hoping through CS to reconnect with fellow travellers, and possibly meet and share with like minded locals.
