About Me

CURRENT MISSION

In the end only 3 things matter: How much you loved, how gently you lived and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you..." Buddha (KEFI)

ABOUT ME

I am clinical neuroscience researcher and clinician. I love meeting people from other countries and get to know their culture by sharing a bit of my own. I consider myself as a bit of a bohemian. Some of the best ways to spend my time are: singing music in the shower, going for a good run in the lakeshore, going to new arts exhibitions, dancing like crazy to shake stress away, discovering new cafes to work on my writing, having a candle bath with wine, having intellectual talks when walking over the city with my best buddies, and my favourite: packing a change of cloths get in (train, car, bus) and hit a random destination.

I am also very respectful and polite, always try to see possitive side of things

PHILOSOPHY

We only live once, let´s make it count! Experiencing life at its fullness..

" We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give"

Winston Churchill

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe every person you meet teaches you something and you become more enriched when sharing with others. I love learning about other cultures.

Interests

I love discovering new places, learning new things and meeting new people. :D

I thinks there´s nothing better in life that simple things that make you smile like a beautiful sunsent, a wonderful candle dinner with friends, singing/playing music in a bonfire, walking next to a river and feeling water in your fingers when you go sailing!

I just finished a course in Cognitive Neuroscience in Nottingham University in the UK. One of my passions is reseraching how the brain working networks specially involved in psychopathology and its uderlying mechanisms.

Would love to work with victims of violence and trauma, as well as carry out research in sociopathology patients.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a great passion for Toronto and would love to show how magic and full of life it is. I am right now working full time in a research project at CAMH one of the biggest psychiatric hospitals in Canada and therefore do not have much time to travel, that is why I would love to show around the city, show great places to eat, dance, and entertain and also hear a bit about your cuture.
