About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I would like to travel around the world, study in a foreign country a plant conservation biology PhD and enjoy life!

ABOUT ME

I studied biology and I enjoy a lot the natural environments. I like to travel and meet new people of different cultures and countries because from each person I meet and place I visit I learn something. I like to help other people.

PHILOSOPHY

I think that every person has a different perspective of their sorroundings dependening on their past experiences. I consider myself a positive person who enjoys life. I think there are no problems, I think we create them depending on what we think about a situation and this will determine much of our daily feelings. Personally, I am a happy guy who always see the positive aspects of every situation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I like fantasy books because by reading them I can imagine different environments and situtations. I like all kind of music and play new age piano music. I like art movies from around the world and action movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think people have a trend to stay in a "comfortable zone" were they perfectly know a situation and consequently manage it. Getting out of this zone creates different feelings, so they avoid it. In my case I have done things to get out of my comfort zone, like travelling to countries where I do not know the language, experience new situations, etc. These things I have done have enriched myself.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think everyone has a special knowledge since each one of us has lived different circumstances and, by consequence, has a unique point of view. I am open to talk with people about my personal experiences and way of seeing life and expect the same of them.
