About Me

Hi everybody!

I am a Swedish-born Uruguayan, born in the south of Sweden and grew up in the south of Latin America. I love outdoor activities, like hiking and climbing/bouldering, I often go out to pitch a tent if the weather allows me to. I also love bouldering inside whether it is raining or sunny.

During my life, I have traveled to many places, I have been to Asia, Europe, Africa, and Latin America. I hope I can keep visiting many other destinations since I love meeting new cultures and new people. On my trips, I try to have a nice mixture of Museums and strolls in the city, getting lost without looking at a map is my favorite activity!

I am currently doing my Ph.D. in Oslo, Norway, but mostly living with my partner in Bergen. In the near future, I will be a period in Belgium :)

All in all, I am an outdoorsy person who loves to be inside too ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have used this platform when traveling, making my trips always better. I have never hosted because I have not been living consistently anywhere for the past years due to my job. I would love to start hosting for the first time, but this is always to be a collective decision between me and my partner.

This is a great way to meet new people and have new experiences, both hosting and visiting.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of music, recently I've listening to Brandi Carlile a lot and the adjacent folk North American music, I also love rock and folk music in Latin America... also from other continents. So I guess I am into folk and rock of the world!

I also listen to dance music from any country, from Norway to Uruguay and everything in between!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had the opportunity to do a long trip with my tent and two other friends in Norway, to a place called Lofoten. The views are nothing like I had seen before, and the trip was as demanding as f-. This was the first time I did that, and I could not stop after that.

The last incredible thing I did, was bouldering in Fontainebleau. This is a magical bouldering place both because of the rocks and the people, but also the energy that flows everywhere!
