Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Interest in cultural exchange!
I arrived in France in March 2020 with a VacancesTravail visa, and so far I can say that I have met incredible people who have opened up and wanted to share, thank you! I'm very happy with the friendships I've been able to make thanks to the Couchsurfing community.

If you are reading this, I hope to meet you, and if you go to Uruguay tomorrow, I hope to show you the city where I lived before coming here and the customs we have there! Whether it is food, music, going to drink mate at some square or at the rambla (especially), and showing you the city and telling you about the seaside and other places in Uruguay.

If I am not in Uruguay at the moment, I can still give you all the tips and recommendations I might know.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Parachute jumping with my mother (very good experience, we both recommend it), having gone alone to another country when I was 21, having come to France to learn about this culture and language having a basic level of it.
Something that I also dared to do while being here was to cut my hair, at first at 4 millimeters (now it has grown quite a bit). It was something I wanted to do a long time ago but I didn't have the courage.
I was encouraged, and I can say that I don't regret it and that having short hair is great! and it's very practical

Teach, Learn, Share

Digital and 35mm photos, music heard in Uruguay and in the region, language, culture, mate if possible! (maybe when the current situation gets better)
If you want to know about my country, I will tell you everything I know.
I have also learned expressions from here in France but I still have many things to learn!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Activities and good times will never be missing.
