Hi! Hola! Olá! こんにちは!
I'm currently living in Barcelona (Spain) and I am interested in collaborating in a wide range of projects:
- Housework and Maintenance, I love practical work and am always ready to learn new recipes - and if you have pets or plants that need looking after that's always a plus!
- Sustainable & Enviromental Projects, having a background in engineering I'm interested in learning new or alternative techniques for projects,
- Cultural Exchange, I love talking in, and about different languages and cultures, being Argentinian by birth and Japanese by culture.
In my free time, I like to cycle and discover new places that may have been hidden because I didn't pay attention to them.
Hope to see you!

What else ...
I love to play Board games / Card games, such as Dixit, Settlers of Catan, Agricola, Terra Mystica, and any new ones you want to introduce me to!
I was practising Sanshin (Okinawan Japanese musical Instrument) in my Hometown. I Hope can I bring it on the next trip with me.
If you are interested, I love to share my passion for Okinawan folklore, culture, and history.
Also, I'd like to share with you some of my favourite music:
* BEGIN: a Japanese band that uses Sanshin as the main instrument. One of the most important bands shows the Okinawan culture.
* Nujabes: a Japanese musician, known for his atmospheric instrumental mixes sampling from hip-hop, soul, and jazz, as well as incorporating elements of trip-hop, breakbeat, downtempo, and ambient music.
* DakhaBrakha: a Ukranian quartet with really lovely music.
* Tinariwen: a talented collective of Tuareg musicians from the Sahara region of northern Mali.
* Trio Mandili: a lovely trio from Georgia, singing traditional songs.
* Anouar Brahem: a Tunisian singer, playing the Oud. Transports you to these lands.
