CURRENT MISSION

My mission is the constant acquistion of knowledge. Of course, the best way to do this is travel and share beers with new people!

ABOUT ME

Oh well... I am a bit of a geek, but that doesn't stop me from being rather sociable! I love discovering and learning (the kid in me is still going strong), be it places, languages, cities, science, technology, people, you name it! I DO have a sense of humour, love conversation (anything from small talk to deep philosophical enquiries) and am quite OK with most types of music.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live my life by properly combining four elements:
(1)My well-being vs. (2)the well-being of the rest of the creatures on the planet (human or not)
And
(3)My present well-being vs. (4)my future well-being.

I know it sounds pretty obvious, but that is really how I decide what to do with my life. I believe most questions can be reduced to these four (generally) opposed concepts.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I'm just starting to discover CS so I can't say I'm participating much... but I'm sure it`s just a matter of time!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm afraid I've had no real CS experiencies yet.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm quite into Architecture (especially in Architectural Representation and Architectural History and Theory).
I have also been giving some classes on 3D and design software (I can use most 3D packages to a certain extent, from SketchUp to 3ds max, Rhino, Blender, you name it) and I am also quite fond of Image-editing and vector-drawing software (Photoshop, Illustrator, Corel Draw, etc).
