Overview
About Me
📍Currently in Montevideo
IMPORTANT/IMPORTANTE:
- I only host people who also host people / Solo recibo personas que también hospeden en sus casas.
- You don't have to send me a very long message, a concise message is alright. But please tell me what's the reason why you want to stay with ME / No me tienes que mandar un mensaje mega largo, un mensaje conciso está bien. Solo te pido que me cuentes por qué te gustaría quedarte conmigo.
- If your plan is to stay all day home, you should go to an Airbnb / Si planeas quedarte todo el día adentro, mejor anda a un Airbnb
10 weird facts about me:
1) I hate butter :(
2) My moustache looks like Salvador Dali's.
3) I started eating rice when I was 23 years old (before that I used to say I didn't like it)
4) My main hobby nowadays is sewing. I have a sewing machine and create clothes all the time.
5) I eat mostly healthy food but I have a big weakness: mayonnaise.
6) I can eat a lemon without making funny faces
7) I haven’t drunk Coca-Cola since 2012. I even forgot why. Lol.
8) I think pigeons and frogs are the most adorable animals in the universe (I have both of them tattooed)
9) I can't swallow pills :(
10) Sometimes I feel like I'm 80 years old and I love to go feed ducks
Less irrelevant information:
26 years old. Bachelor in Communication (UdelaR). Master's in Strategic Communication (Universitat Rovira i Virgili)
I consider myself funny, and really sarcastic, my sense of humour gets feed by shitposting (lol). Even though this, I have a serious face most of the time haha.
I love learning new things and having conversations exchanging about our cultures with people from other parts of the world. I’m very open-minded and hate prejudices.
Also, experiencing different cultures from the inside is maybe what I like most in life. Thanks couchsurfing.
Some of my hobbies and passions:
* As I said before, I love sewing
* I play the bass
* I love birds and birdwatching, I have recently gotten into birds' photography (my e-bird profile: https://ebird.org/profile/NDYzMTgwOA/world)
* I love learning about cultures, history and linguistics all the time (sometimes I spend hours just looking at the map looking for interesting things)
* I love playing chess (my elo is around 1400 on blitz) and I used to teach the kids in my neighborhood how to play it.
* I go to the gym three times a week
I’ve been on couchsurfing since I’m 18 and I’ve hosted people from all over the world. I started hosting people at my parents house in San Carlos, and then I continued hosting in Montevideo from 2019 on.
I have been hosted too around south america, north america, western Europe and eastern Europe. Thanks to couchsurfing I have met a lot of incredible people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Porque:
* I don't want to just visit touristy places. I want to understand what's going on in every city. What people think. What people do. What are their concerns and desires.
*creo que para realmente conocer un lugar es importante verlo desde la perspectiva de sus habitantes.
*amo el intercambio cultural.
* no me gustan los hoteles
* amo conocer nuevas personas
* disfruto hablando otros idiomas
* es una forma de escapar de la rutina
