About Me

I'm a 31-year-old Uruguayan living in Montevideo. I've traveled to 🇦🇷🇧🇷🇺🇲🇫🇷🇬🇧🇳🇿, and my next destination will be 🇲🇽/🇺🇲 in December!

Looking forward to meet nice hosts that could host me just for a couple of nights in Playa del Carmen, Cozumel or Cancún.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To enhance the experience of traveling by myself and meeting new people from different cities.

Interests

Sports fan (Soccer, tennis). I love music (alternative rock and many others) and enjoy watching movies and series (various genres). I enjoy daylight and I like to hang out outside, maybe go running or just go for a stroll while listening to music or having a chat with someone.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trying to be a good son, brother and friend. Helping my family with anything and being thankful for the life I'm living and the people that has been always making it worth living. I like to adapt to any type of personality, and learn from any person that I meet along the way. Everybody has something to teach us, so the key is to be open to learn from them, and at the same time, to give back what we learn from them.

Teach, Learn, Share

Life's all about teaching, learning and sharing. I'd like to show hosts how's life in Uruguay, and to teach them how we're influenced by different cultures and also how we live our daily life in one of the smallest countries in South America. Learn from what the host has to offer, learn from his/her city, his/her life, his/her experiences, his/her thoughts. Share good moments and memories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good company. I'm a quiet person, though I like to talk and show interest in other people. I enjoy being helpful and thankful, and I also like to respect other people's home and life style. I don't tend to ask for anything, and try not to interfere with anyone's activity. Just knowing that the person who is hosting me did such thing, I'd like to pay that back with respect and partnership.
