Overview
About Me
I hold a master's degree in cognitive science (the interdisciplinary study of the brain and mind), I write and make music. Everything in the universe can become science or art, wisdom and expression of feelings, emotions and sensations. I try to be as universal, as rational, as sensitive and as universal as I can. I try to be complete, giving and learning where and when I can.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Meet new people is the best way to learn and be happy. Simple as that.
Interests
Everything is interesting if looked at in the right perspective. Not having certain perspective, everything is interesting if not looked from the wrong perspective. It's all part of it and all deserve attention. Everything is transformable into science , everything is transformable into art. It would be better to ask : What does not interest me?

Music, Movies, and Books
It is ridiculously difficult for me to choose favorite songs, books or movies . All these three components are constant targets of my attention. Regarding the music, I can feel songs from Hiphop to classical music (and I never listen a song distractedly), and I can mark as musical heyday the band Pink Floyd. Regarding books, authors such as Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Milan Kundera, Saramago, Jorge Luis Borges, Nietzsche, Carl Sagan, among others, have marked me a lot. In relation to cinema, is more complicated, but I can reference, just as a reference, directors like Tarantino , brothers Cohen and Francis Ford Coppola.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
It would be unfair to say I really did something amazing, because, to be amazing, to object needs to be seen as amazing. But I am proud of my three major creations: "Fragments of Truth" the book, "Fragments of Beauty", the álbum, "The Unconscious-Conscious Relationship in the production of Conscious Thought", the master thesis.
Teach, Learn, Share
I love to travel and to talk (i'm better listening than speaking). And to share and to receive different experiences and perspectives is the best way to be a more universal being.
Countries I’ve Visited
England, France, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland
