Hello everyone! I’m Federico, originally from Uruguay.

I’m an art lover with a passion for photography and painting, having studied fine arts. Exploring the world through creativity is a big part of who I am. I also love music, trekking, and enjoying a good cup of coffee. Wandering through new cities on foot, discovering peaceful parks, and having meaningful conversations are some of my favorite ways to experience a place.

Though I’m not a great cook, I can prepare a few traditional dishes from Uruguay and always enjoy sharing meals and stories with others. I’d love to share more about Uruguay’s culture—whether it’s music, traditions, or unique aspects of my country that you may not know!

I’ve been using Couchsurfing in various parts of the world for several years, and every experience has been incredible. I’ve met kind, open-minded hosts and fellow travelers who made each place feel like home. For me, Couchsurfing isn’t just about finding a place to stay — it’s about making lasting connections and learning from the people I meet.

As a guest, I’m respectful, organized, and always mindful of my host’s space and needs. I am happy to contribute in any way I can.

Currently, I’m traveling through Japan, eager to connect with locals and immerse myself in the culture. I’d love to meet people who enjoy sharing stories, exploring the city together, or just grabbing a coffee. Whether it’s a city tour, a simple meal, or a hike, I’m always up for a new adventure and conversation!

If you’re into art, I’d be happy to collaborate on a creative project—whether it’s photography, drawing, or just sharing techniques. Let’s create something memorable together.

Looking forward to meeting you!
Cheers.
