Hey everybody. I am Ignacio from Uruguay. I have moved to Netherland to start a new life here. I left my country, my stuffs, my family and I am starting again. Currently I am living in Rotterdam. I don't know how long I will be here. I don't plan to much.

I am trying to do my best in life and I think I am on the correct path.

Talking about my professional studies and life, I studied law, aviation and music. Right know I am working in the aeronautic industry.

I like to travel. I started to travel more often 4 years ago, and once I started, I haven't stoped. It is awesome to discover new places and meet new people.

Even though my profile was created in 2014, the first time I started to use Couchsurfing was in 2021 when travelling around Norway. That's the reason why I have few reference.

I have some leitmotiv for my life:

I don't get mad with stuff that are out of my control. It makes life easier.
We have to be authentic to our selves.
I trust in the kindness of strangers.
Animals are like us: they feel.
Facts, no words

Animal Cruelty Free Space

Please, avoid using plastic and unplug the cellphone charger when no using it. Let’s do something for our World, our Home ;)

In my instagram @ignaciovolando you can see picture that I shoot with my grandpa camera.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here to meet kind and fun people. I like to travel, to see and discover new places, and may be, look for the place to live or just pass by. This is my present life and I think that we have to do our best to have a nice and funny transit. Everything is about enjoying!

Interests

Nature, sports, books, bicycle, music, films, cooking, cities, walk, swim, airplanes.

I practise Yoga, (when I have plenty of time). I believe that yoga is awesome and quite healthy for our body and mind.

I like to ride bicycle, and to walk, a lot.

I try to help people the most I can and when I have the possibilities. Karma always return.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I learn how to fly a light aircraft! Yeah, I am a pilot and learn how to fly an aircraft from scratch and without flying before.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach the following: just live and don't get mad with stuff that we cannot control. It doesnt worth it. And if you just know that, I can teach how to play the flute hahaha.. and also explain and teach how to fly an aircraft.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I believe I am a really easy going guy. I have no problem in adapting to your home rules and customs. I am quite flexible with that stuff and I really want to share that experience.
I think that If I will stay in your couch for free and if you are going to host me, I can help, and I would like to keep your house clean and tidy. This is at least, the minimum I can do. I am really clean and tidy in my home, so I can be less in yours.
Also, shearing food and groceries from the supermarket.
To sum up: whatever you request from me it is ok! I am really chill with that!
