CURRENT MISSION
is the mission I'm on right now.

ABOUT ME
I was raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina. When I finished high school I moved to Barcelona to study Fine Art, but returned seven years later with a degree in Literature instead. I work as a translator and try to scribble my own sense of awe. I published two books. I love reading, traveling, drawing, building stuff, being around friends, and talking about art. I am amazed by all processes: cultural, material, geological, astronomical, evolutionary, you name it.

PHILOSOPHY
Enter the stream.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

The swallow may fly south with the sun, or the house martin or the plover seek warmer climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Importing:
A huge amount of people stayed at our appartment when living in Barcelona, some have remained very close friends.
Exporting:
Several trips of mine wouldn't have been the same without CS

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

So I'm rappelling down Mount Vesuvius when suddenly I slip, and I start to fall. I mean, I'm about to die. Just falling, ahh ahh, I'll never forget the terror. When suddenly I remember "Holy shit, Hansel, haven't you been smoking Peyote for six straight days, and couldn't some of this maybe be in your mind?"
And it was! I was totally fine! I've never even been to Mount Vesuvius!
