⚠️ just want to be friends, this isn’t Tinder, bumble or whatever 🤣🙏

Born in Paraguay, grew up in Italy (Milan), living in Bellevue (WA).
Ping me if you're in the Seattle area so we can hang out.
We can chat about travels, music, software/geeky stuff. Most of all, I like to meet new people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love to meet people from other countries and walks of life

Interests

Music: I play some piano and I'm also venturing in electronic music with FL Studio.
Hiking: my family is not much into hiking but I’m comfortable with 1500/2000 ft elevation gain (e.g. Lake 22 and similar). I would love to find some nice folks that wish to hike a bit. I love to take pictures!
Software: I worked many years at Microsoft in the Windows division and I'm in Azure now - if you are into this kind of thing :-)
Dancing: I love salsa music and dancing. Haven’t practiced in a while but can always try. I’ve also done some bachata but I find it less interesting.
And of course… traveling!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: thriller movies or any movie with an interesting plot.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I published my first single, yeah!! An electronic, 80s-style song in Spanish: https://open.spotify.com/track/3MVDH17EMtWGF5Ex7n4wey?si=y38FWfD8Q2q2BsssUBc93Q

Spotify user: Nando Zalez

Edit 2025: I published another track. Always electronic and synth-packed (have I told you I love synths?). This one is more on the chill side.
