CURRENT MISSION

I got to to Provo in August 2021, I'm studying at BYU, getting a Ph.D in Biology.

ABOUT ME

I'm a biologist working with freshwater fishes in Central America. I lived for one year in Finland and did my share of European travel, meeting great people through Couchsurfing. I also lived in Mexico for two years while I got my Master's. I've also hosted travelers for a year at home and also added more good experiences. I hope to eventually travel and visit the US during my 5 year stay over here.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem, Seize the day, make the most of every day.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfed and hosted for a couple of years; I then went blank for another couple of years, but now that I'm in a new country, I feel the need to travel it and visit new places.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Through this site, i have been able to meet and share experiences with a lot of different people, from all over the world, and whom have travelled across the globe. I am really surprised and glad, at how this site is managing to break barriers.

Centres d'intérêt

My main interests are, first of all, music, I can spend all day discovering new stuff, and listening to my favorite records. I also review them on the music community rateyourmusic.com (http://rateyourmusic.com/~diego21).

My second interest is cinema, I've always enjoyed watching good movies, and I enjoy football a lot, and history, literature, and travelling. I'm up for most new things.
