About Me

First of all I don't like to talk about me. I prefer that people know me and get their own impression. But I understand that that I need to introduce myself here so here we go!:

I have finished my career recently and now I am doing things that I want or like (I'm studying guitar, I'm reading a lot, I'm going to a lot of live-music presentations).
I like running and playing soccer.
I am left-wing, anti-racism or xenophobia.
I don't believe in God, but I have a very strong faith in Humanity. I believe that we have the power to make a better world.
Even it sound as a cliche: I like music a lot, and I am always eager to know new music (I love to find good bands/musicians that are not "famous" or that are in the "under" movement).
I just turned 31 and I am thinking to start a new adventure soon :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people with different stories and cultures. Sharing experiences, tales and seeing new points of viewing life is something that always makes me happy.
I believe that knowing a place/city/country is to know its people, and I can not think in a better way than couchsurfing to meet locals and share their culture and their customs.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm constantly looking for good books and good music!
My friends say that I'm almost obsesed with it haha

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning!! new languages, new cultures, I am always eager to learn new things.
I just finished my career at the University and right now I am learning how to play the guitar (I am not so good at it but I have a lot of fun doing it). In the future I would love to learn how to sing (I suck at singing).

I can teach spanish, about Uruguayan culture and music... I don't consider myself an expert in nothing, but I am not selfish so all I know about I am willing to learn/share it.

To share: Experiences, a positive attitude, a beer, music, a coffe, a good laugh (I love laughing and I like to think of myself as someone who laughs all the time).

What I Can Share with Hosts

To share... Experiences, a positive attitude, a beer or wine, music, a coffee, a good laugh (I love laughing and I like to think of myself as someone who is funny and laughs all the time), A nice dinner (I am not chef but I can cook some plates), a hike, tips about Uruguay :)
