About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Work in progress.

ABOUT ME

After a year of getting my degree in architecture and resting a little bit, I suppose it's time to work on my career. I've taken the time to enjoy a sunny afternoon sitting under the trees and reading a book... or watching the rain through the window in a cold day. Now, as well as doing that, I'm figuring out how to kick off. After seven years of psychoanalysis, I can say I know myself a bit and still working on it. This is why I enjoy travelling. Getting to know new people, new places, new stories, new realities makes me grow, boradens my mind, and this is something I'll never stop trying. I guess I'm not a very talkative person... I take my time to think, to observe, to look in the eyes and then I may talk. If is was my choice, I'd always choose a small and intimate group in a quiet bar, where you can listen and be listened to, rather than a big disco with blaring music. As far as I know I am a good listener, a contemplative and intuitive person. I can be really funny once I feel confidence, otherwise I may seem a bit serious.

PHILOSOPHY

There's a fine line, and your decision makes the difference.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met some amazing people through CouchSurfing, people I may not see or talk to everyday, but people that definitely have shared with me amazing experiences and bits of their lives that I will always carry on with me.

I've been hosted when I was living abroad and I've helped people to get the best of my city -or at least I've tried!

Interests

Watching a film on my couch in a very cold night is always a good plan for me. Reading takes me into another dimension. I'm working in an architecture firm and also teaching history of architecture at university. I love taking photos: I'm planning to start taking violin lessons back... I left when I was at university. I'm back on swimming and running now... I'm getting older and have to pay attention to my health! I also want to do some politics, so I must figure out how can I help with it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cruising along the Nile and flying over the South Pole. Amazing images and great sensations.

Teach, Learn, Share

I guess I can be a sort of tour guide... I teach History of Architecture at university so I can say I know a bit -but care a lot- about the history of Buenos Aires and its buildings.

I'm always ready to learn -actually, I find people who have something to teach extremely interesting and respectable.
