About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discover, create, express, love

ABOUT ME

My friends would probably say that I'm a crazy, happy, nice person. That I like to sing, to see the stars (I'm an astrophysicist), to be connected with my child soul, to read, to dance, to laugh...

PHILOSOPHY

Life is more complex the more we try to understand it. (It's not a depressing quote for me, indeed that's what I found really interesting about life)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is so much better when you can interact and discover the places you visit with people who actually live there. It is a completely different experience than just be a tourist :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience was in Santa Fe, USA; my second and third where in Italy and Switzerland. All of them where really nice and so I recommend this to everyone.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bungee jumping! was really amazing

Survive to -20°C in "El Tatio" geisers from Atacama, Chile (OK, I know is not that much for some people but for me... I tought I wouldn't survive the cold)

Singing, acting and playing violin in many scenarios in many countries (mostly Chile of course)

I played violin in a group called "Magreb" of andalusi music, you can hear us here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUBvtr2TsFI

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach about music, singing, violin, all about stars and amazing things in the universe, maybe recommend some books or music.

I would love to learn to play another instrument, another language, music, food and culture from as many countries as I can.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my energy, my optimism, my way of seeing life. I am always myself and not afraid to be just that.
