Science teacher interested in web technologies and citizen science. I love my job, my family and my country.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was a member of SERVAS once, in the early 90's. I know how it works and how exciting it is to host and to be hosted by people interested in people and their life experiences. I am open for just about any subject or culture.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like world music, movies soundtracks, just about any music that gives chance to emotion or a working mood. I listen to Spotify and Pandora whenever possible. I like too many books to mention here, and my "to read" list has no end in sight. One of my favorites was The Web of Life from Fritjof Capra. I like German, French, Argentinian, Brazilian, American, Norwegian, Japanese and you named kind of movies. The last one I watched was one of my favorites: Interstellar, for playing with physics in an intriguing way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One isn't enough to no one who tastes life as it comes. I lived for a couple of months with no money, no place, and no food a few thousand kilometers away from home. I watched my two daughters birth. I meditated until I became visible everywhere. I graduated in Biology and got this close from completing a humongous Ph.D. thesis in Environmental Education. I survived divorce from a 27 years relationship. Life continues to amaze me regardless of my values and beliefs. But breathing is amazing enough.

Teach, Learn, Share

Natural wonders. Facts of nature. Astronomy. Environmental education. Strategies to make a better person and a better world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share time, a good conversation, cooking, helping each other, walk the dog, whatever. I enjoy sightseeing and long walks.
