About Juan

¡Hola, soy Juan! Soy apasionado por el fútbol y deportista ocasional. Bebo mates desde que tengo uso de razón. Me gusta estar informado de la política y economía global y de mi país, Argentina, el cual añoro. Me encanta conocer las culturas y paisajes del mundo y, como buen contador, planificar los viajes con anticipación, sobre todo en los itinerarios a realizar, el tiempo que va a hacer (dicen que soy el chico del tiempo) y los costes aproximados.
