CURRENT MISSION

Perpetually on the road

ABOUT ME

The first and most important thing I can ever say about myself is that I am authentic and authenticity is what I value the most about people.

I am open-minded, curious, friendly, intro-extroverted, passionate, adventurous, stubborn, impulsive and a bunch of other adjectives that would probably contradict themselves.

I LOVE traveling, duh! I love everything related to arts and not only meeting people, but getting to know what they are about, WHO they are, their authentic selves.

I enjoy staying home watching movies or binge watching a tv show or reading. But I also adore going out and partying; dancing until daylight blinds you and the club is closing up.

Oh, and I write, in Spanish: glossyglass.blogspot.com

PHILOSOPHY

"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." (Ok, so this is not MY personal philosophy, but that of one great man, anyway, he let me borrow it.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just got back from a two-month solo trip around Europe and I mostly stayed with my lovely CS hosts. Needless to say, it was absolutely amazing.

Now I'm back home! I don't have a place for myself where you can stay, but I am definitely free and up for showing you around the city of Montevideo. :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Like I said, I was travelling around Europe and I was hosted by all of you amazing people and I know for a fact the trip was as good as it was because of the lovely moments shared with you guys. Thanks so much to the past and future ones.

I am really looking forward to hosting and I promise I will do it as soon as I am able to!
