About Me

Hola!! Me llamo Jorge (más conocido como George por mis amigos) y tengo 37 años. Nací y viví toda mi vida en Rosario, Argentina, hasta que inicié mi viaje. Siempre me interesó viajar y en febrero de 2017 renuncié a mi trabajo, dejé todo y salí a cumplir mi sueño de recorrer el mundo. Después de viajar un año y medio por Sudamérica, viví tres años en Irlanda, dos en España y ya planeando el próximo viaje largo!

Me encanta viajar de autostop (haciendo dedo), y además soy músico (toco bajo, guitarra, piano y en realidad cualquier otra cosa que haga ruido). Fuera de los viajes, soy Sysadmin, fanático de las computadoras y la tecnología, y Linuxero part-time.

Dicen que hay 7 mil millones de personas en el mundo... Debe haber gente muy copada para conocer ahí afuera, no les parece??

Además, hace poco empecé un canal de YouTube, mirénlo a ver qué opinan! https://www.youtube.com/@DondeEstaJorgeHoy

Hi!! My name is Jorge (best known as George by my friends) and I am 37 years old. I was born and raised in Rosario, Argentina. I've had a lifelong interest in traveling and in February 2017 I quit my job, left everything behind and started to make my dreams of traveling around the world come true. After spending one year and a half traveling around South America, I moved to Ireland where I lived for three years, and then two years in Spain. Anyway, I'm already planning the next long-term trip!

I love to hitchhike and I am also a musician (I play bass, guitar, piano and actually whatever thing that makes music). In between trips, I am a Sysadmin, geek and part-time Linux freak.

They say there are about 7 billion people on this planet... There must be some seriously cool people out there, don't you think??

Also, I have recently started a YouTube channel, check it out!! https://www.youtube.com/@DondeEstaJorgeHoy

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Me encanta Couchsurfing por la misma razón que me encanta viajar de autostop, te permite conectarte con gente local (o con viajeros de cualquier parte en caso de ser host), hacer nuevos amigos y tener una perspectiva mucho más auténtica de los destinos a visitar.

He sido tanto host como guest y realmente todas las experiencias han sido muy positivas!! Estoy convencido que esto se debe a que todos los que formamos parte activamente sabemos y entendemos de qué se trata ;)

I love Couchsurfing for the same reasons I love to hitchhike. It allows you to connect with locals (or travelers from around the world in case you are a host), make new friends and have a much more authentic perspective of the places you visit.

I have been both host and guest and every single experience has been great!! I'm sure this is because each of us (who actively takes part in this community) understands exactly what it takes ;)
