ABOUT ME

Formal; perhaps timid in making small talk but interested in ideas and quick to explore topics of conversation that can be taken seriously.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I meet people; hang out; share travels; exchange information...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have 'surfed' a couple of times and met couch-surfers to share experiences.

兴趣

Politics fascinates me, and I think of myself as an activist in the causes of environmental justice and solidarity with the 'Third World'. My work (research on ways in which science affects our lives, and particularly those of the poorest of the world) spills over into my leisure time in all sorts of ways. And then there's music: my first love!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I shall never forget a holiday in Cauca (Southern Colombia). I spent a week in the colonial city of Popayan, which was hosting a festival of (classical) music and the arts, along with numerous religious processions and spectacular open-air ceremonies. Then I took a bus across the high Andes to the region of Tierra Dentro, and just walked through the mountains.

教，学，和分享

Well, I have expert knowledge about the reasons for world hunger; possible solutions; how science can (and cannot) contribute; how GM crops fit into all this.

I want to improve my Spanish: and I desperately need to learn how to dance Salsa!
