CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life in Montevideo after having lived for 12 years in Seattle.

ABOUT ME

I worked in Seattle as a programmer for 12 years and now work remotely. I'm living in Montevideo and hope to integrate into the society as much as I can. I grew up in the Philadelphia area. I used Couchsurfing extensively when backpacking through South America is 2012. I hopped between cities using buses and met many people on Couchsurfing.

I'm interested in language learning, fitness, rollerblading, personal improvement, software and career development, and lots of other things.
