English term or phrase: pack rat I know the meaning of the term; only I wonder if anyone can help with a short and catchy term in Spanish.

triquero Explanation: En México (aunque cabe me corrijan) es aquel que guarda tanto trasto y trebejo (conocido por nosotros coloquialmente como "trique") que tanto su casa está atestada de ellos, como cuando sale de viaje, hasta la jaula del perico le acompaña! El asunto es que seguro es para tu audiencia argentina... sólo tú sabrás qué te sirva. Saludos!	Gamaliel Novelo Mexico Local time: 05:36 Works in field Native speaker of: Spanish
