ABOUT ME
I am currently travelling through Planet India.
At home I am studying Brain Sciences, trying to understand how does this black box, which we carry on our shoulders, work.
I am also doing some visual art and trying to understand its relation to memory. Some of my art and thoughts on this topic can be found on my website: www.memoartum.com
And in my free time I try to write, about my personal experience and the society I live in.
PHILOSOPHY
I am hedonist, I like to enjoy life and see happy people around me. However, I think that as a biological specie we must aim at eternal life of some sort (not only reproduction), and hence invest as much energy as we can, in leaving our individual trace on this planet.
Interests
Tango... Since I´ve discovered this world few years ago, I want to have as much as possible of it.
Rock climbing and mountains - what can be better than a feeling of being on top of a rock you´ve just finished climbing?
And a little secret I want to share: I like to eat rice porridge in the morning!
