CURRENT MISSION

Travelling, exploring (if I could say that) Europe and meeting new people.

ABOUT ME

In a box this small? Ok, I'll try..
I was born in Montevideo, Uruguay the 26th of December of 1984. (Memorable year in the Uruguayan national history and in the English literature, ha)
Well I've been growing up during the last 28 years, I made very good relationships, some of them perdurable, some of them not, I made bad relationships, but hopefully short-term)I formed my taste, my ideology my hobbies, my wishes. During the last years of my life (3 of study, 6 of work) I became a Primary School Teacher and then I decided to take a break (in every aspect of my life) and do one of my dearest wishes: travel around and live abroad for a while.
So I had to choose a destiny and I choose Europe because... well maybe because I've had traveled in South America and I wanted to go far away. Actually I wanted to go to Mexico also to live there, but I thought that here in Europe it was easy to find a job and could save some money to travel. (!!!???) Well, maybe it's easy to find a job in London, but not to save money.
Mmmm where am I? Well the thing is that before coming back to Uruguay I want to travel around Europe and I think this (Couchsurfing I mean) could be a great thing.

PHILOSOPHY

Sorry, but I think it is a little bit pretentious. I've not found my identity yet, it is quite hard to explain it even to myself. But I would say that my way of life is take the most of everything, try to learn from my mistakes, which is really hard, try to make the world a better place to live, starting with the people I love and the people I try to educate everyday, treat the others in the same way I want to be treated (which is quite hard when you are under stress), get involved in the community and yes, even when it sounds a little bit silly or like a cliche... I want to be happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently I just can go to others couchsurfing hosts' houses because I don't have a house right now to offer.
But once I come back to Uruguay and finally move to my own place I'll be a couchsurfing host!!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None. I just slept in a couch in Manchester. I met the guy in a hostel in London and when I went to Manchester I texted a message to him and he was so kind and invited me to stay in his place. Well that's a kind of couchsurfing without the intermediate of the website, isn't it?
