I´m Alejandra, from Montevideo, Uruguay.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet people from the places I visit, to hear their stories and learn from their experience, and points of view. I would also like to receive travellers when they come to visit my city.

Interests

I love travelling; when I have the chance, I don't think it twice. Meeting new people, discovering new landscapes, cultural traditions and try different foods is what makes me feel alive. If get the chance to work, volunteer or get involved in a project while I´m in a new place, even better.

I also love visual arts and filming. I´m currently trying to improve my drawing and painting with different materials, but it will take me some time to get the hand of it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don´t have any favourites but I very much like the ones listed below,

Books: Ensayo sobre la Ceguerar (José Saramago), The Illustrated Man (Ray Bradbury), Brave New World (Aldous Huxley), Relatos de un Naufrago (Gabriel García Marquez).
