I work as a researcher in the field of neuroscience.
I like discussing with people about life.
I like cooking.
I like riding bicycles, diving and playing badminton.
But my favorite thing in life is to travel around the world and discover infinite landscapes and experience the different ways of living. I seek the natural human generosity, long time forgotten in the apparent individualistic world of modern days.

PHILOSOPHY

Respect and open your heart to the others, this way you can only have positive experiences. You can disarm anyone with a sincere smile, I swear that it works. The materialistic happiness powered by our consumerist world is just illusory and ephemeral.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've traveled a lot, slept in many different kinds of places, but only recently I tried couch surfing.
A very nice communitarian idea that should be put forward as much as possible.
However I find it truly sad that CS requires now 54€ to get verified and limits to 10 introductions per week if not. I don't agree with this kind of business model: making money on the back of the generous hospitality of hosts...

Teach, Learn, Share

As a researcher, I regularly work with students and teach them how to conduct an experiment on humans to tackle specific issues of sensory perception. I am always happy to share my (limited) knowledge about how the brain works.
