Overview
About Me
I'm from Uruguay, a small country in South America. I'm a biologist. After finishing my Master I decided to go for a PhD here in the US. All the process was difficult but I made it! Even though is tough to be far away from my family and friends I think I made a good decision coming here. I have the opportunity to interact with people from different countries at School and learn a lot from them. I feel I'm a different person now, mature, empathetic and tolerant.
I like beer and mojitos, ride my bike (and any other outdoor activity), watch movies and read (I'm always reading some fiction).
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I would like to meet new people and make friends. Besides, I know how it feels to be alone in another country so I'm happy to help and support anyone that needs someone to talk.
