About Me
Lawyer by degree, aviator by heart, and musician by soul. Originally from Uruguay 🇺🇾, now living and cycling in Amsterdam 🇳🇱 and working at Schiphol Airport.

1. Don't sweat what you can't control.
2. Stay faithful to yourself.

• Music: A lifelong study and passion.

What I can offer hosts
I’m a clean, respectful, and very easy-going guest. I can share stories from Uruguay, explain the physics of flight, or play some music. I’m always down to help with chores or share groceries!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel to see the world through the eyes of its people. After a life-changing trip to Norway in 2021, I realized CS is about finding a "home" and human connection anywhere in the world.

Interests

I'm an outdoor enthusiast! Cycling in The Netherlands is my dream come true. I also love hiking in the mountains (not in the Netherlands obviously), going to the gym, and exploring new cities with my analog camera in hand.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I started my pilot course without ever having been on a plane before—not even as a passenger! My first time in the air was at the controls. 🛩️

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to play the flute (be ready to laugh!) or explain exactly how planes stay in the air. ✈️

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’m a very chill and flexible guest. I respect house rules and love contributing—whether it’s chores, sharing groceries, or cooking a vegetarian meal together. My goal is to be a positive presence in your home.
