I spent a lot of time in different places and learned a new culture and met interesting people. My last stay was in Italy and in the heart of Napoli, the best place in Italy. Awesome food and great people.

A few words about me, I'm a researcher working in Marine Biology. I worked in Kochi, Japan as an Invited researcher for Japanese Ministry of Aquaculture and Environmental Sciences. At present I’m in transition to move to my new work. I’m back home for some vacations and I'm interested in making new friends to hang out with and know the place as well as learn the language.

About my work: I work with the small microscopic life in seawater, some which are toxic and leads to mortality of species. If you are interested I can talk more about it.

Interests: I like meeting people, discover different traditions and cultures from people around the world. I like hanging out with friends, having a drink and having a good positive discussion about the world. I prefer being in nature or having fun or staring sky on the beach.

Philosophy
Travel while you're young and able. Don't worry about that money, just make it work. Experience is far more valuable than money will ever be.

My Philosophy
Every human should do something crazy that will help him find his place in the world and create some stories to discuss later.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Its a great platform to meet new people who can share their experience and think about life and nature.

WARNING: as other members have pointed out, the main purpose of this site is not, not, not, getting free accommodation. Therefore, if your only interested in that, please refrain from contacting me. Oh, and leave a reference after being hosted! People are not obliged to host you, so leaving a reference is just a gesture to say thank you. In your own interest, please read my profile and tell me why you would like to spend time with me.

I just relocated to Kochi, Japan. Hence it would be nice to have a discovery buddy, as opposed to a mere freeloader. Btw I did host much more than it looks like but thanks to some lazy cs people who don't bother to leave a reference.
