Overview
About Me
I can say I'm an explorer of multiples fields of knowledge, from Amateur Astronomy to Photography and Solid State Physics.
By discovering new intellectual areas to explore, my mind feels the need to physically explore new landscapes, meet different people and cultures, as well as passing on what I've learned in my 24 short years of existence.
Whatever I can do to help, learn and share... I'll do it.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
First of all, it is a low cost travel experience. Second, and most important, this low cost way of travel allows people to really know each other. We depend on each other in our daily lives, but most of the time we don't realize this.
I believe couchsurfing is the richest way to absorb new perspectives and thoughts about the world we live in. I want to be part of this, be part of the world and life itself.
