Biography

Sebastián Beltrame Bouzas was born on October 13, 1973, to Jorge Beltrame and María Bouzas, a Spanish immigrant to Uruguay.[1] When he was one year old, he moved with his family to San Juan, where his parents formed a community with professionals from different areas, who went to build homes. At the age of four, he moved to Tacuarembó, where he lived for three years, and then to Tarariras; later he lived in Colonia del Sacramento for two years. When he started high school, his parents divorced, and he moved with his father to Montevideo, while his mother to Buenos Aires.[2]

Back in Uruguay, he produced the program Fuera de Foco for Teledoce, in which he travels around different parts of the world and shows the people their customs.
