Recently moved to Buenos Aires city.
My name is Josefina (27) and I'm from Argentina. My latest experience living abroad was in Budapest, Hungary for two years.

I would define myself as a very easy-going, energetic, committed and creative person.
I come from a very small town located in Buenos Aires province in Argentina. When I was 18 I moved to Rosario (where Messi and El Che Guevara were born) to study. After I finished my studies in Marketing and worked one year in a company, I decided to move to China! It was the greatest experience of my life. I lived there for one year with a Chinese family while studying Mandarin at the local uni. Then the pandemic happened and had to return to my home country and for the chance to travel to Patagonia which was also one the most fulfilling adventures of my life.

In my free time I like riding my bike, social volunteering, going to concerts, swimming, painting watercolor, embroider, going out, sightseeing, etc. One of my biggest passions are languages.

I am fully vaccinated.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I have always been very curious about traveling and meeting people from all over the world, learn about their culture and enrich each other. What's better than doing it like a local? That's why I am on Couchsurfing. Because you can have great experiencias with locals and opportunities to getting to know places that otherwise wouldn't be possible.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Luckily along my life I've met people from all over the world.
All my life I've been respectful to different cultures, but living in China definitely made me realize not only how different can be but also, and most importanly, the similarities we share.
Also thanks to Couchsurfing I had the possibility to meet and share experiences with people from a wide variety of backgrounds.

After all, we're all human beings :)

P.S I am a great cook (or at least a great recipe-follower :P)
