Hey! My name is Alvaro, but you can call me “Alvarito”. I’m a Software Engineer, I got my degree at Universidad de la Republica in Montevideo, Uruguay. I’ve been developing software for 6 years now. I’m a quiet person, I like to listen to music (I prefer rock), to play soccer, to read, to watch tv series, to do exercise and walk through the city.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking to meet new people and new places. New cultures and friends. I’ve received pretty good feedback about Couchsurfing, and it seems to be the right application to use to go out and meet the world.
