Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
write a scientific article; win up to 3 nobel prizes (any of them) or not... :)
ABOUT ME
I have recently finished my graduation on Biochemistry and, if all goes well I'll be heading to the United States to do my Ph. D. Yet, before I go, I'd like to know a little bit more of Europe before I go there and that's why I am planning a trip!
I'm not much of a party animal, I prefer staying up late in a cofee drinking some beers and talking with friends than going to a crowed disco to dance (I can't dance). I also like to organize parties at home and watch some movies or play a game with my friends.
I am, indeed, a part-time nerd and/or geek (I've never really understood the difference between the terms) but don't worry, I'm not a dungeon dwelling anti-social beast! quite the contrary! I'm really social and funny guy (at least I think so, but my girlfriend disagrees with the last part, even though her jokes suck...)
If you want to know more about me, I'm always at e-mail or message reach, so contact me at will :)
PHILOSOPHY
I believe we should live one day at a time, with as less conflict and as much happines as possible. It might seem a too simplistic view but I believe it works
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I still live in my parents house so I don't think I will be able to accomodate people sleeping in my house. However, I MIGHT be able to squeeze one or two people into my house for 1 or 2 nights tops if my parents agree
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
This is the first time I try to do some couch surfing so bear with me :)
The whole concept seems very exciting to me, I can't wait to meet new people and new cultures!
Interests
My addiction is music, specially metal, I am always searching for new stuff and I always end up buying too many cds...
I am also very interested in science, especially medical sciences (biochemistry, Nuclear magnetic resonance, diabetes, etc...)
Although I'm a very peacefull person, I enjoy (and I do not know why...) very low quality B and even Z grade movies, especially old sci-fi movies or if they have zombies. :)
