About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Hacer dedo hasta Tierra del Fuego

ABOUT ME

I'm a Ph.D. student of math, taking a break to travel through South America. Quiero aprender castellano, conocer gente interestante, y pasar un buen tiempo. Ahora estoy tratando de hacer dedo de El Bolsón hasta Tierra del Fuego. I'm interested in a lot of things, including nerdy things like math and science, getting outside, trekking, running, camping, reading, watching movies, hanging out with friends, etc. Si vivés en un lugar en camino hasta Tierra del Fuego, estaría contento cononcerte!

PHILOSOPHY

Lately, I've been trying to stay in the present moment as much as possible.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking through Hornstrandir, a peninsula in northwestern Iceland. It's only a few miles from the Arctic circle, so it was light enough to hike all night long. Extremely rugged, beautiful terrain. No permanent inhabitants -- except lots of arctic foxes!
