Hey guys! I'm Clara, a french girl living in Uruguay.
I'm a systems' engineer (software developer and other geeky stuff)
and I love my job XD

I'm very shy at first but if I let myself go I can be a real talker. I hope you don't mind, it's just the way I am :) but don't worry, I love having fun, going for a drink (or two or.. Etc), hanging out with my friends just being silly or having deep conversations. I just take more time to open up than most people I guess.

I have 2 dogs, so if you're allergic or just don't like them I don't think my home is the right place for you.. But otherwise you're welcome and you can play with them :D

So yeah, there you go, a little summary of Clara (or Clari, Clarita, Titi, Fu,..) Yeah I have a lot of nicknames from different friends, so you can pick one or just make one up, I don't mind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently in the process of moving so it's a bit difficult for me to host you until I've found a new place.

Interests

New technologies, software development, video games, science, different cultures and ways of life, movies, music (a lot), animals, pokemon (lol), horseback riding, salsa, zumba, dancing in gral, hiking, discovering nature.

I love singing (mainly in the car) but I'm really bad at it so no worries you won't hear me. I also like to play guitar but without an audience.. Sorry!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I skydived which was an accomplishment since I'm afraid of highs ><
You can watch my horrified (and later happy) face here: http://dai.ly/xx5xew

I went on a 10 000 kms roadtrip with my best friend Klems (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/klemslcfrom), from France to Norway and back!

Also a 4000 kms roadtrip with my boyfriend. We went from France, through Italy, Austria and Germany :)
