About Me

I'm a 23 year old Uruguayan student travelling across Europe with two childhood friends. First time in Europe, hoping to get the best of it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm travelling across Europe for the first time and would love to meet locals and fellow travelers. I believe travelling is not just about visiting a place, but about meeting its people too.

Interests

I enjoy a good night out as well as a quiet movie or book night, it's all about balance! As far as activities go, I like meeting up with friends for no particular reason, travelling and meeting new people. Also, soccer is kind of huge in Uruguay, so I wouldn't be a true Uruguayan if I didn't include it here!

Music, Movies, and Books

Pretty much every rock band is fine with me, though I usually listen to 70's and 80's music, Aerosmith, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin to name a few. I also heard The Lumineers and Sziget recently and loved it!
I'm a bit of a science geek, I read A Brief History of Time and plan on reading The Grand Design next!
My favorite movie has to be American Beauty, followed by A Beautiful Mind. I also really liked interstellar, the science geek inside me gets strong from time to time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

If I had to choose one, it'd be skydiving! Have to admit that I was scared on the way up, but was totally worth it. If you ever get the chance, do it, you won't regret it!
I also did the Inka Trail, hiking three straight days from Cuzco to Machu Picchu. It's the best way of discovering Machu Picchu, no doubt!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share everything I now about my small country back home, I believe the exchange of cultures would be interesting. I'd also help around when needed and join in any activity. I wouldn't want to cause any trouble, the experience has to be enjoyable for everybody!
