I am a biologist. I love nature, science and art. I am an evolutionary embryologist. I am full professor in Catholic University in Quito, Ecuador, currently also working and visiting very often the Universidade de São Paulo USP Brasil. I have chosen this path for understanding the beginning of life, and life itself. Science has taken me around the world, teaching me about life and people. I have done aerial silk for several years, capoeira and salsa dancing for some other years.

I love languages. My experience with capoeira made me love Portuguese language in which I am fluent with proficiency (CELPEBRAS Sup Adv). My science training in US also made me have proficiency in the English language. I am studying German and French too.

I love to learn new things and cultures and of course share my native culture, my science and my art.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

to grow my son as a good man. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach salsa and merengue dancing, basics of capoeira, aerial silk, "pandeiro" samba percusion. I can teach basics of English, Portuguese and Spanish. If someone is interested (not quite likely for sure) I can also help with biological sciences specially embryology. I have also some skills on electricity and carpentry.

I would love to learn floor acrobatics as long as German and French.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer my science, my arts, my languages and my experiences of many countries, but above all I can offer friendship, sincerity and an open mind.
