Biologist, language teacher, and lover of people and cultures. I am an avid writer (short stories and poems). I love stories and the people that tell them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a sucker for trips around nature, and new cities. But what makes trips special are the people you meet, that you fill my senses of what the culture and country are about. How they see the world and experience it. Learn some new perspectives, and above all, that we are not that different.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Get into a pool with crocodiles with my best friend during my undergraduate studies as a Biologist. We were trying to retrieve a piece of laboratory equipment that feel in the bottom of the pool. I was about to call it quits, but my friend decided to get in. He is "my brother from another mother", there was no way I would let him get in without me. So we did... We never found the piece of equipment, hahaha.
