ABOUT ME
I am a population ecologist interested in literature, music, and coffee/beer. Two wonderful housemates showed me the wonders of this community! So, I would be more than happy to talk about biology, corals, and monkeys in a local bar next to the University of Puero Rico... and don't forget about baseball! Ei, Giants!
A nice part of being a scientist is the fact that you should disseminate the results of your research, therefore, most of my trips have been research travels. This has helped me to find myself alone in new places, an experience that allows me to explore a whole new scene from the perspective of a local worker (perhaps?).
PHILOSOPHY
"Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?
-Douglas Adams
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
