About Me

CURRENT MISSION

learning new worlds

ABOUT ME

I love to travel and I'm lucky that way since I get to travel a lot. I give a lot of conference talks around the world about children, play, computers and learning. I lived in the US (Oregon and Georgia), Denmark, Sweden, France and in my home country, Uruguay. I have taught at universities and started my own business.
I talk a lot! (that's what my friends say, at least :)
Since I travel a lot, I know that what makes a trip really great is the people you ran into. It's one thing to visit a city on your own and a hugely different thing to hang out with locals or at least to get some local advice.

PHILOSOPHY

I can't settle for a boring job.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Now that I have a family I don't host travelers anymore. However, if you are in Montevideo and want to grab a coffee in Ciudad Vieja, let me know !

Toys (plastic toys, wooden toys, handmade toys, I just love toys)
