About Me

Back in Montevideo after 5 months in Los Angeles, 3 months in Chicago, and 10 months in Tel Aviv.

I love coming up with new ideas and making them happen. I consider myself a starter and a dreamer.

My main passion is technology and how it can be applied to different aspects of our lives to help create a better world.

I volunteered for many years when I was younger, working with kids and teenagers in my local community. Now, I continue to volunteer, applying my professional experience and skills. I organize talks and meetups for young people about entrepreneurship, business, innovation, startups, design thinking, and other topics to inspire and help them pursue their projects and passions.

I’ve also been a university teacher for undergraduate students and hope to do it again someday because I really enjoy sharing what I’ve learned.

I’m very interested in meeting new people from different cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think this is a great way to travel, meet new people, and experience different cultures.

Interests

I love traveling and meeting people from all over the world, learning about their cultures, and sharing experiences.

I’m a big fan of movies and American shows, especially sitcoms like Seinfeld and The Big Bang Theory. I also enjoy fiction series like Dark, Mr. Robot, Nip/Tuck, and so many more.

I’m all about good food, Uruguayan classics like asado, chivito, dulce de leche, and alfajores are my favorites. I also love Asian food and enjoy going out for dinner and drinks whenever I can.

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC: electronic, tech house, trance, minimal tech and psy trance. Also some rock in english and spanish.

MOVIES: science fiction, action and all comedies with Jonah Hill :)

BOOKS: historical novels, self development.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming completely alone on a beautiful empty beach in Uruguay... and no, not naked! ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching and sharing my knowledge and personal experiences!

I enjoy talking about my experience in running tech businesses, managing software products, and turning ideas into real projects using modern methodologies like Lean Startup.

I also love learning from others. I believe there’s something to learn from everyone, no matter their culture, age, gender, profession, or religion.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Passions, dreams, ideas, interests, knowledge, life stories, funny moments!
