Hi! I'm Marcos (30) and I work at the Permanent Mission of Uruguay to the World Trade Organization in Geneva.

Before joining the Foreign Service, I lived in Paris, where I worked as a Spanish Assistant (which allowed me to travel a lot around Europe and its surroundings, and meet many people!).

I’m a Bachelor in International Relations and I'm really interested in the different cultures and languages there are throughout the world, which is why I plan to go as far as I can in order to learn and experience as much as possible.

I speak Spanish, English and French.

I love playing and watching football, reading and hanging out with friends, as well as travelling and meeting people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In order to be able to travel and learn in a different way, meeting new people and exchanging with them.
