About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Pensar menos

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

I lived with two housemates, Débora and Rafiné, and we hosted many surfers in our place. After that, I decided to surf some couches in Boston and San Francisco...it would always be one of my good memories...
