About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Traveling in Southeast Asia for the last two months, heading to Europe soon!

ABOUT ME

Love to travel, hanging out with not complicated, transparent and relaxed people. Like going out dancing as well as having a quiet night just drinking and chilling, while chatting with other travelers, sharing anecdotes and experiences.

Right now I am in the middle of a trip that I never imagined I could be able to do so young, but it is really happening!

Apart from traveling, some of my other interests are politics, history, economics, among several others. But if I have discovered something while traveling, that would be that there is nothing more important for me than being near my family and friends, that is why I will be happy to go back home, even if that means that my trip is over. It will be great to see all that people again, and of course it won't be long until I start thinking about the next trip!

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live, freely. Just do whatever you want as long you don´t harm other people. FREEDOM, FREEDOM, FREEDOM!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Spanish maybe? Not much than that, since I am not really good at sports or playing instruments. People say I know a lot about geography, and facts about different countries, but I am not sure whether you wanna learn that! Also, I can show you how we dance Cumbia in Uruguay, but not before a couple of drinks at least haha!

I have always wanted to learn to play the drums, so if you have one and you are willing to teach me, that would be fantastic! If not, I still wanna meet you!

Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Cambodia, Canada, Chile, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Netherlands, Poland, Singapore, Spain, Thailand, United Kingdom, United States, Viet Nam
