About Me

I am a young and happy development practitioner. Currently living and working in London. I work in an International Development consultancy. I enjoy sports (football, tennis, table tennis and volleyball mainly), outdoor activities, and good conversations with a beer.

As probably most people here, I love traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In my opinion the best way to know a country and a culture is through their people, that is why I'm on Couchsurfing :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

“Gosh, I – do you know, I’m not quite sure"

“I mean, you know, I have to confess, when me and my friends sort of used to run through the fields of wheat, the farmers weren’t too pleased about that.” (May, 2017)

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to consider myself as a decent storyteller, love sharing experiences, thoughts and dreams.

Love to share Paraguayan culture, chat about music, films, art or anything to be honest.

I can teach photography, I'm not the best one out there, but I know the basics
