I'm Augusto Ferreira (20), law student, amateur photographer and writer in Asunción.
I come from a nice family of four and two dogs, and I'm pretty much a nerd (If that's a valid description), but socially acceptable (I guess). I mean, I like going out and traveling with friends.
I own the first and only blog on photography in the country. I exhibited collectively in the French Alliance of Asunción, for the Contest "Metiers du Monde" in 2012.
I got the 2nd place in category Best Album in the "Marathon Photo Historic Center of Asunción", and went among the winners of the "Windows Phone Photosynth Challenge" worldwide.
I have three years in photography, having started with my phone, and I continue with it until today, along with other vintage cameras.
I write articles in my Blog (Photoblogmgz.blogspot.com) and fiction novels (Epics and short stories mostly). Also I like playing games of all kind, specially board games and videogames.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Cause' I want to know different people from around the globe. Also, my family has a nice place to offer to any visitor, and I'm pretty much a good guide in my own country. I can introduce them to a lot of interesting friends and places.

Interests

I love Writing fiction and going out and photograph interesting people or places. Travel and getting to know other cultures and visions of the world. Eating (Of course) and designing board games and videogames (A secondary passion).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm trying to be modest but I'm really proud of this: I wrote a fantasy epic in less than a year.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach spanish and some bad words in guaraní (The native language of my country). I'd love to learn french and get better in english. Also, I can share a lot about our culture and history.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Pretty much everything they ask for. Starting with a comfy shelter to transport most of the time. Apart from that: a reliable guide to know Paraguay, Photography Classes, Typical Foods, Philosophical discussions, meetings with other people, etc.
