About Me

Hi! I am very energetic, very simple and like hard work. I'm very friendly too. Like forming big groups of friends and doing things as a team.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I`m in couch surfing to experience my trip through New Zealand, Asia and Europe in a way where I can meet new people, get to meet new friends around the world and see cultures from other point of view.

Interests

My interests are in traveling the world, keep discovering life's teachings and keep challenging my limits.

  • culture
  • dining
  • guitar
  • surfing
  • sports

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all sort of music but the genre I like most really is Rock. And books I like from my leadership instructor Robin Sharma and the lonely planet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing i`ve done and which I fill pretty proud of is once when I helped a man living in a bad situation in the street encounter with his mother who thought of him dead as they have not talked or seen each other for thirty years. This happened not too long ago, I had recently started on a social group where we asisted people in a bad situation with food, and they told me the story about this man whom they have been trying to reconnect him to his familiy for 4 years and they couldnt. While talking to him I understood that he didn`t wanted to see his mother becaous he was afraid. Afraid of what his mother would think of him. Scince then I promised him that he would go and meet his mother cause maybe she dosen`t has much time left and really would appreciate seeing his son after 30 long years! So 4 weeks from that day, with my godmother and a close friend fetch him and drived 6 hours to where we investigated his mother lived and took him there. The story ends by an incredible a very valuable day where this man and his mother radiated happiness of seeing each other after all this years and he stayed there to live with her.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've learned and still learning things in life the hard way. I'm eager to learn whatever you have to teach me and like sharing storys and laughs which probably will go together.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share how life is in Uruguay, about my culture, I can share my thoughts and perspective of life, on how hard we have to fight in life as its the only one we have. I have learnt to live life at my very best and can transmit the same to you.
