Boring stuff: I'm a Computer Engineering student and I work as a web/mobile developer.

Languages: I speak fluent Spanish and English and very little French (très peu).

Passions: music (I play guitar), beer (I used to make my own beer with my friends), mate (as any self respecting Uruguayan), amateur photography (I travel everywhere with my camera), movies and Netflix, and of course traveling and meeting new friends and places!

Cooking skills: practically none existent, I do make an excellent Asado though (Uruguayan barbacue)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Last update: February 1st, 2019

I have been backpacking in Europe since January 2018, so 13 months already (time really flies)! I like to get to know the countries I visit and its people, that's why I hate just visiting one or 2 cities for just a little time and then move on, I like to take my time.
I've been staying in Airbnbs, hostels and with Couchsurfers throughout my trip, I find it's a nice balance between having some space for myself (Airbnb), getting to know travelers from al over the world (Hostels) and also getting to know the locals (Couchsurfing).

Like I said, I like to take my time while traveling and let things be, so I don't plan very far in advance, this way I can adapt and be spontaneous about were I go next. I've become very passionate about travel and landscape photography recently, I love to discover a new place and take as many photos as I can, these are the souvenirs I'm taking with me back to Uruguay.

My road so far:
- France: 10 months (I REALLY liked France hehe, visited pretty much every corner)
- Luxembourg: 1 week (it's small, very small)
- Belgium: 1 month
- Netherlands: 1 month
- Slovenia: 1 month
- NEXT: Austria, starting in Graz

My experience using Couchsurfing on this trip so far has been fantastic, I've made very good friends with who I still stay in touch to this date, that's what I love about this platform the most, it actually enhances the travel experience!
