About Me

I am a biotechnology engineer and beginner entrepreneur. I love to travel, meet new people and places. I love to talk about science, society, movies, books; know people's experiences traveling and learning from them.
I am always working and I take advantage of all my work/academic travels to explore different places.

Besides spending almost all my time in the lab working with bacteria and inanimate objects, I am a people person, I love to learn someone's story, understand their journey and their experience. Learn what makes them happy and embrace it, It makes me super happy see people succeed and support them.

You will find me learning new things always, I know I should be more "square" due to my scientific background, but I am not, so, I enjoy photography, storytelling, writing, even juggling (give me 3 lemons and you'll see magic).

Current philosophy: Make people realize how awesome they are.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I came from a pretty traditional and rural family, so, meeting with a stranger used to be weird for me, but after my first experiences traveling I know I can find amazing people everywhere and that's why I am here. I gotta meet amazing people and share the world!
