ABOUT ME

..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am moving to Canada for a PhD in Ottawa University. Initially I want to find a place to stay for a week or less so I can look for an ideal housing situation for the semester and beyond. I also, in time, want to interact with the first nations, national and international community nearby Ottawa/Gatineau area. Specially with those doing community development and volunteer work.

Interests

I've dedicated my life to understanding nature and human interaction. How communities grow around different ecosystems, in often challenging socio-economic situations. I want to give back to Nature by facilitating and being part of institutional decision making, associative/collective action and poverty alleviation.

• cultural immersion
• nature conservation
• community service
