Im a 28 year old female from Uruguay. I currently work as a wedding photographer in my own company and a freelance creative writer and social media manager. I love photography more than anything! I'm also in love with books, brazilian jiu jitsu, animals and sci fi :) There's not much to say about me! I love to travel and getting to know new people, museums, reading new books and learning new languages. I'm a quiet person who is always eating (and) or reading :P

Im a Krav Maga student wanting to become an instructor, a bjj practitioner and a rookie at MMA.

If you're in Montevideo and need a tour or go out to dinner or even some breakfast send me a message! I would love to show you around and help you out to visit my beautiful country!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I went to Cuba a couple of years ago and didn't have a place to stay so that was trouble! I got there and started wandering the streets and luckily I found a home that had a free room so they allowed me to stay with them :)

That experience changed my entire life, I mean it! People were so friendly and kind and warm. I learned a lot about Cuba while staying with cubans I even went to a birthday party! That was amazing. I shared laughs and stories with wonderful human beings that took me in and cared about me.

I want to do the same thing. Spread the love and the knowledge!! Share the kindness, it is a rough world we are living in but it is also beautiful and wonderful. Meet new people, share, live!

This time I'm going to Europe and I would love to meet new people there!! Hang out, go to museums or just for a cup of coffee. Visit amazing places and enjoy long talks! I love talking lol in case you didnt notice already :P

I believe in a world where we can all be nice to each other and help each other out without wanting anything in return. I also believe in people, good people out there :)
