Overview
About Me
I am a 25 year old uruguayan student and Entrepreneur living in Tarragona, Spain. I am an easygoing person that really enjoys meeting new people, new stories, and new points of view.
Three years ago I decided that I wanted to live my life aligned between what I want, what I think and what I do, so I quitted my job and focused only in the things that I enjoy and care.
Now I hold a company related to Online Marketing, work at the University and do some other things that I really enjoy.
I hold a BA in Communications and at this moment I am taking a Máster in Entrepreneurship and Innovation.
I am an enthusiastic and highly motivated person that loves meeting people that share the same enthusiasm for DOING things instead of talking about them. I enjoy good food, specially when it is healthy, a good wine, an interesting chat and walking aimlessly, only for the pleasure of walking.
I spend my free time with my girlfriend Denise, a charming person with whom I share my vision of doing things :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Right now I am on a special period of my life. I am living with my girlfriend in a new country (Spain), so I am currently having a "new life". In that context, we want to meet new people, places, points of views, and everything that may enrich our lives. We are really enjoying this adventure, but we know we are just starting!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
This year, I went to Salvador de Bahía, Brazil, where I took part in the construction of a playground in one of the poorest neighbourhoods in the city (what they call "favelas"). The place was a dump, and in two days, together with a team of more than 50 people including other travelers and some neighbours, we converted that ugly place into a beautiful and useful playground for the kids. This was an incredible collaborative experience!
