I´m an English teacher in Uruguay, South America, 52 years old and currently travelling by myself all over Europe by train. It is my 1st time here and doing the travel I´ve been dreaming of for so long. I have 2 daughters. Victoria of almot 21 and Julieta of 18. I love to travel and meet new people. I came here, on the first place, for a Symposium of Eduacation held in Paris by AFS (American Field Service) an International schoolarship in which I participated as a foreign exchange student in Victor, NY, USA, back in 1980/81. I love to travel, read, swimming, cycling, get to know different cultures and people . Outgoing and like outdoor activities, I do not drink or like to go out beasides having dinner or have a nice time with friends (I´m not a "late" person)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It was recommended by my doughter (she is a member) who lived in Italy with a schoolarship with UWC (United World Colleges) for 2 years and currently living in USA. And by Shamari Reed, a Fulbrighter student who actually used "my couch" when visiting his Fulbrigters colleagues in my home town, Paysandú, Uruguay.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach that everything is posible if you have the deep desire to do so...you must follow your dreams... I learn to ASK..people do not know or can not guess what you want or need. I can share my experiences to the ones that want to listen and my home, couch or spare room if you happen to go through my country
