CURRENT MISSION

- eliminate as many south american ultras from my list of mountains to climb

ABOUT ME

I am a 24 year old geek traveller, nearly 2 months into a cross-continental trek along the Andes. From Bogota I passed through Manizales and Medellin, and am now in Cartagena, moving on to Barranquilla, Santa Marta and so on, until Caracas. From there I will make my way south while trying to hike as many ultraprominent mountains as reasonable.

PHILOSOPHY

(This is not a philosophical proof. This is merely a brief overview.)
I am a secular atheist but I do have a logical spiritual model. I regard consciousness as the supreme God, if you will, as all of us are incarnated instances of consciousness, sharing an experience in a single causal universe. Each conscious being is then viewed as godly.
From this (and a lot of dialectic) follows the categorical imperative to esteem and protect individual sovereignty as the first condition under which the instances of consciousness may practice their free will in harmony.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Completely new to CS so I am extrapolating here, but I know I love discussing, teaching and using my skills for cooperation in general, so I'm sure I'll find a way to be helpful ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just starting out couchsurfing. I hope I'll have many good experiences and that my hosts will too!

Interests

I love facing the world with humor, recording it in all its glory and shame with my lens, having friendships to share it, discuss geopolitics, the economy and philosophy, dance and enjoy music, and am always willing to do any fun, random stuff...

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot about mathematics, chemistry, physics, logic, philosophy/spirituality and secular morals, psychology, politics, economy and more, for theoritical and practical applications.
I can teach any of these subjects and also swing dancing (East Coast, Jive, Lindy Hop), english/french languages, photography, computer programming/efficient use of modern information technology, and probably some more.
Many people I meet jokingly refer to me as a human encyclopedia.
