CURRENT MISSION So many things to do and so little time... ABOUT ME I characterize myself as being a pretty calm person, I like meeting people from other places and learn about their life experiences. I am very independent and inspired by life's events, from where my creativity comes shining through, but I'm unable to be on my own for long before I start dreaming in my imaginary world of happy people and happy endings...jaja. Sometimes I have difficulty in distinguishing fact from fantasy; I tend to get caught up in my dreams and views of how things should be. I'm a student of biological sciences at the University of the Republic. I work in polar research, with bacteria from Antártica. I like to think I have a very special contact with nature, and Im very environmentalistic. I love animals of all kinds (except from spiders near me...). I've been living in Montevideo since 2008. I'm not a smoker, I've a vegetarian lifestyle and I'm really into yoga and meditation subjects. PHILOSOPHY Bet on your mind, you will be surprise The only thing that makes us different is to believe such thing exists You can always turn your dreams into reality

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING We can accommodate people or going out for drinks, so as to show the city. I have a house in the countryside where you can go if you want to get away from civilization and enjoy the fresh air. I have good experiences of people who have been here, it has led me to continue to do so. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I've benn hosting all kinds of persons from 2010,all experiences have been awesome, and every couch I offered it;s a new whole expreience. I hope to continue doing it for long as I can.

Teach, Learn, Share
I'm in the continuous searching of the unknown, that's the reason I'm so interested in physics and biology. (so I bet I would try to blow you're mind in a deep talk). I have some skills cooking vegetarian food. I can teach how to perform a perfect headstand and other complex equilibrium asanas, as well as walking on a slackline, aerial Silk and aerial Trapeze! Y can also teach you some things about the countryside life, such as riding a horse and knowledge about our fauna and flora.
