I'm a 26 year old amateur musician and professional Maths and Physics professor who loves to read, to write, to travel, to debate, all possible forms of art (the impossible ones too), to cook and to play chess.

I will be going to Chile from Dec 2019 to Feb 2020 and I'm open to all recommendations on what to do. Also, if you can host me for a night I'll be grateful forever more and I'll gladly cook you a nice Spanish feast :D Also, if you have a guitar, a keyboard, a bass guitar or a drum set (you never know) I'll be elated to jam along with you! And of course, I'll also be very happy to help you with any mathematical/physical inquiry you might have ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have hosted a lot of people in my home over the years, but never on Couchsurfing: I've recently moved to a new flat and my flatmates are more inclined towards it so we might be hosting someone soon enough.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I slept on the Great Wall with some friends: we hiked for hours and then we settled on a half demolished tower and enjoyed most amazing of skies while drinking Baijiu.

Teach, Learn, Share

That is actually what interests me the most about CS: how it enables people to learn from other people and also to teach them. As I've said, I'll be super interested in anything you want to teach me (from history of your country to local cuisine to music to philosophical ideas), and I'm passionate about teaching what I know: I'm a professor after all!
