About Me

Interests

I am a classical musician and perform baroque music, but I also love rock, jazz, blues, salsa, bossa nova, and ethnic music. Love to go to concerts and enjoy all performing arts. As a biologist, I am into outdoors, botanical gardens and trekking.

Soy intérprete de música clásica, específicamente barroca, pero también me fascinan el rock, el jazz, el blues, la salsa, el bossa nova, y la música étnica. Me encanta todas las artes escénicas y asistir a conciertos. Como biólogo, me gustan el montañismo y los jardines botánicos.

Felizmente, el mundo no deja de sorprenderme.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Note #1: I do not use Facebook, LinkedIn, nor Instagram. Just plain e-mail! (And a bit of WhatsApp).
Note #2 (mostly for some European travelers): I believe CouchSurfing is a matter of sharing, of reciprocity. If you have been hosted 30 or 50 times, and you have never hosted a single soul at your home, please do not waste your time writing to me.
