I am a graduate student at the University of Florida. Nowadays I mostly travel here and there for conferences, but I've lived through better days when I used to travel a lot!
I read a lot and watch a lot of movies too so those are the things that we can talk about.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, basically to meet new people; a little beyond the daily ones you might run into, here and there!

Music, Movies, and Books

I mostly read novels, philosophic and historical texts; then they lead me to sociology, political science and psychoanalysis. My movie list is really broad, including German Expressionism, Italian Neo-Realism, New Wave (its French, German, Japanese varieties mostly), American independent cinema and many other things.

I listen to a lot of jazz and blues.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Another time I biked to a ski resort in -40° and when I got to the top, people were looking at me as a green-headed alien who had just gotten off from UFO!

Teach, Learn, Share

Life is a reciprocal teaching and learning so everyone has a brand different world to share; I'd rather not hypothesize!

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can share life experiences, talking about our interests and the activities we do. I also ask lots of questions about where I visit, so hosts need to know they've got to answer a lot of questions!! If I travel by bike, I hope a corner in the house can be found for him! I can also cook for my hosts!
