🇺🇾 Uruguayan, currently living in Nagykanizsa 🇭🇺

I am a simple and adaptable person. I’ve experienced the full spectrum of life; I’m just as happy with a plate of rice and beans as I am with expensive sushi.
I’m equally comfortable in a luxury mansion as I am showering with a water bottle in the slums of Uganda (done that). To me, every experience is valuable, and I'm always grateful for the lessons life has taught me.
I live by a simple rule: treat everyone with kindness and respect, and help whenever it’s within my means.
I think my references reflect how I am as a person.

10 weird facts about me:

1) I hate butter :(
2) Yes, I'm heavily tattooed... but I'm not a gangster nor a rapper, and no! I don't do it to look tough!
3) I started eating rice when I was 23 years old (before that I used to say I didn't like it)
4) My main hobby nowadays is sewing. I have a sewing machine and create clothes all the time.
5) I eat mostly healthy food but I have a big weakness: mayonnaise.
6) I can eat a lemon without making funny faces
7) I haven’t drunk Coca-Cola since 2012. I even forgot why. Lol.
8) I think pigeons and frogs are the most adorable animals in the universe
9) I can't swallow pills :(
10) Sometimes I feel like I'm 80 years old and I love to go feed ducks

Less irrelevant information:

I spent many years as a marketing and communications consultant, but I’m now pivoting my career toward the circular economy and academic research.

One of my favorite things in life is experiencing new cultures from the inside: understanding how people live, what they think, and what truly matters to them. I’m passionate about connecting with people from all over the world, which is why Couchsurfing has become such a big part of my life.

I’m also a total geography and geopolitics geek. Don't be surprised if I share a few random facts about your home country or city when we first meet :)

Some of my hobbies and passions:
* As I said before, I love sewing
* I play the bass
* I love birds and birdwatching, I have recently gotten into birds' photography (my e-bird profile: https://ebird.org/profile/NDYzMTgwOA/world)
* I love learning about cultures, history and linguistics all the time (sometimes I spend hours just looking at the map looking for interesting things)
* I love playing chess (my elo is around 1400 on blitz) and I used to teach the kids in my neighborhood how to play it.
* I go to the gym three times a week

I’ve been on couchsurfing since I’m 18 and I’ve hosted people from all over the world. I started hosting people at my parents house in San Carlos, and then I continued hosting in Montevideo from 2019 on.
I have been hosted too around south america, north america, western Europe and eastern Europe, Africa. Thanks to couchsurfing I have met a lot of incredible people.
