I used to work as researcher in Japan, in a neuroscience laboratory. Eventually I got tired of academia, quit, and spent sometime rebuilding my live to be able to fully dedicate it to my passions: helping people, being creative, traveling and spreading great music to the world.

I love being around creative people, and helping them as much as I can to get some or their dreams done. Now I work as freelance. Web design and digital marketing in nice projects I align with, pay my bills, and in the meantime I travel around the world to hang out with the people that I love, and experience how is it to live in their cultures. I meet awesome people in the way, and I find myself a little bit more day after day.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is the essence of most of the things I believe in. Kindness, hospitality, nomad spirit, open mindedness, living your life alternative to the the strict and old-fashioned western culture standards. That's me. And after a lot of time being on the wrong place, I found it's way easier to make the most of my life if I get surrounded by people that understands those values, supports them, and multiplies those life experiences x1000!

Here I find likeminded people, amazing personalities and ways of being and living I could never have imagined by myself. How could I not be here?

兴趣

I am a cat & animal person. I love music, I love singing, photography, sharing dinners and good conversations and having a great time doing whatever... in the end it is not what you do, is who are you doing it with!

I also like lettering and writing travel diaries.

音乐、电影和书籍

MUSIC
I am co-owner of an online radio station (radiotfsc.com), with 5,300 independent artists and 23,000+ songs of different styles and vibes. I like almost all type of music... nonetheless, I prefer the calm folk-americana style over others. In every moment of my life, there are a few songs that feel like "mines". As for now, those songs are:

- Growing Up - Run River North
- Beautiful Live - The Collection
- California - Tyler Lyle
- San Francisco - Stu Larsen

MOVIES
I love going to the cinema, but in the same way music talks to me, and I can be very specific about it, I can't say same about films. I like the ones that tell great stories or that are entertaining, no matter if they are comedies, tragedies, fantasy or science fiction movies, real or animation. I love PIXAR. I just check reviews... and if they are good, I go!

BOOKs:
I love essays, science fiction and fantasy books. I don´t have enough time to read as many as I'd like. For mentioning some:

- "The Dawn of Everything" - David Graeber and David Wengrow.
- "The Origin of Conciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind" - Julian Jaynes
- "The Unbearable Lightness of the Being" - Milan Kundera
- "Neverwhere" - Neil Gaiman
- "Diaries of the Stars" - Stanislaw Lem
- "Sirens of Titan" - Kurt Vonnegut

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

... and that I plan to keep doing:

Living the life that I want, as I want it, who I want to live it with. No matter what others say.

教，学，和分享

Teach:
Insights about the Music Business, Molecular Biology, Photography, Data Analysis, Photoshop, Spanish, English... and even a little bit of Japanese! Cooking nice cakes (I LOVE cooking cakes!!!)

Learn:
I don´t need anything in particular, and I am curious about most of the things, one of the coolest ones: who are you? Other people's lives are fascinating!

Share:
Walks, drives around, laughs, a lunch, a good conversation.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Same as mentioned before! Plus... my amazing kittens!

My perfect plan if you come over would be going for a walk around the city (currently Lugo!), cooking together a cool dinner and then chatting or watching something till it's time to go. You can crash on our futon if necessary!

I'd like something on the line if I surf at your place! :)

How does it sound? If it is cool... drop me a line!
