About Me

I am a fun, outgoing person who loves to travel. Fortunately, I get to do quite a lot of that -- both for fun, and for work. But there is always room for more!

Born and raised in Montevideo, Uruguay. When I cannot go to the world, I like to bring part of the world to me, by meeting people such as you :)

I enjoy foreign languages and believe (based on third party, completely unbiased opinions, like my mother's) that I do have a talent and can copy accents quite easily. Please, challenge me on this one. Apart from my native tongue (Spanish), I speak English and Portuguese quite proficiently, and a crappy Russian which I should definitely improve soon.

People tell me I am a special kind of extrovert nerd. I graduated as a software engineer and have been working at a company doing artificial intelligence for close to a decade. Yes, the machines are coming for you, but unlike what many people believe, that might be a good thing. I have no issue talking science, math and technology all day. I am also a very rational person and an outspoken atheist.

Personally, I love to have discussions both with people who think alike, and be challenged by those who do not! I am very open mind and progressive in several matters. But beware, I won't hesitate to speak up my opinion about any kind of beliefs in pseudoscientific matters ;)

Fortunately for those around me, I am always in a good mood (yes, even when I wake up).

Rumor has it that I might be a party animal on the weekends. I enjoy going out and grabbing a few. You can join me and I'll show you around.

Thanks for making it this far! I hope you have a wonderful day :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet people from different places, that help me to remind how little I know about the world. It is a lot of fun. I do ask lots of questions, and always enjoy learning a few phrases in different languages, so be prepared ;)
