ABOUT ME

I'm a mad scientist with a crazy hippie touch.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new friends and get inspired by their adventures.
I had an amazing community of artists in London, where I lived for the last 5 years. Musicians, drummers, fire spinners, dancers - and now it's time to meet new interesting souls in other places as well.

Interests

I love climbing and hiking. If it doesn't require any degree of complication, it does not worth it. I am also into dancing, mainly world-music and electronic, especially on hippie-style festivals. You know that freakin' witch who belly dances in the middle of a drumming circle and seduces your shy friend to join? That's me ;)
I like meeting new people and learning new languages from them. So what if eventually I end up pronouncing it wrong and saying their mama looks like a male goat. Sorry.
In my spare time, to make a living (and afford all the above), I am a researcher in a biochemistry lab in Yale, US. Non the less, I do no harm to any living creature, unless you count deadly bacteria.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing the biggest rock in Australia (not Uluru), after hitch hiking for 400km into the wild.
Climbing a mountain in Hofsgol-Nur in Mongolia with my new Mongolian dog. I fed her with chocolate.
Hitch hiking (again) from Aconcagua, Argentina, to Chile just to get a stamp in my passport. Note: the way in and the way out of Chile are magically not located at the same place.
And last but not least, all the amazing people I met along the way :)
