CURRENT MISSION

Travel is for me the main way to discover another people with their own culture, social systems, political phenomenas. Understand the people and the world we are living. travel is another way to make friends, live adventures and maybe some love too...

ABOUT ME

I'm a 26 years man borned in Montevideo (capital city of Uruguay). As major of our population I have Italian background. Raised in a medium social economic class. My family and friend taught me some basic principles which i defended today: human equality, social justice, free dome, fight (by many methods) for you think is right.
I see the life with humor but trying never to lose the criticism.
I love party, to drink, to make new people, to have hot discussions....
At 17 years old, in my first trip (Cuba) I understood the meaning of traveling for me and I decide to has it as one of my objectives of life.
As i said before, i travel to understand the culture, social, politic, economic systems, to make friends, and why not some love....

PHILOSOPHY

This field is impossible to resume, I will give just some ideas. I live my life trying to understand the reality around me and the reality of other people in different circumstances. I find the happiness living my live inside the collective. I can not consider my life without give something to the society we live in, and at the same time, learning and reciving from the others. I like to dream, I like to think in an Utopian way, but always with the feet on the ground. I don’t believed in god, “energy”, destiny….. I consider that we build our world and our reality and we should fight for our ideas.
But I’m not all the time so serious…. I love party (I won an award to the “party guy” at my university, 550 persons were competing)…. drink.. music, people of all kinds. Sometimes I feel as breaking the rules.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I’m new in this, so I don’t have most experience in coach surfing…. Any way, I live with three more friends in a big house, so usually we have some guest sleeping in some part of the house…
I been living with two Portuguese guys and a Spanish girl in Barcelona, in 2005. This time was it was me who was sleeping on the coach. Was amazing…. This people were in an Erasmus student interchange but truly I couldn’t see them studying one day…
It were wonderful weeks, full of new things for me, fun, people, culture, places, languages…..
