About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To spread the wonders of science all over the world!

ABOUT ME

There is a quote in my country that says "If you are in hell, embrace the devil". This is one of my mottos, so, as long as someone isn't bleeding or something like that, I'll probably have fun. But if you want to increase this probability even further, here's a comprehensive list:

- Science
- Beer
- Nerdy/Geeky stuff
- Videogames
- Chiptune
- Discussions about the meaning of life
- Computer Science
- Artificial Intelligence
- Linguistics
- Experience sharing

PHILOSOPHY

"Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood." - Marie Curie

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have plans to build the most utopic university on Earth, where everyone is free to make science and share it with others. I will gladly discuss this matter with anyone interested to give ideas or even join my project.

But if you are not so interested in science we can drink beers together, play videogames or sing aloud in a karaoke.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I went beyond the idea of Couchsurfing and found not a place to surf but a place to live =D.

Music, Movies, and Books

Games!

There's no movie, music or book that made me cry more than the ending of To The Moon.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Andes.

Seriously, you don't need much to feel it. Just pick a bus ride from Santiago to Mendoza (or the other way around) and start to feel like the smallest being on Earth while sicking huge mountains embrace you.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm willing to discuss anything about Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence. But I also know how to fix showers and faucets too. =D
