Overview
About Me
I'm a passionate student of physics, loving to learn the working fundamentals of the universe. Also, I always have it in my mind the obligation that, we the scientists, have with respect to the rest of the world: teaching and divulgating the unlimited power of mathematics and philosophy.
I consider myself as an activist of the Free Software movement and all the things that it implies: no proprietary knowledge must exist!
I love to chat with people with foreign people for having new perspectives and learning the best of them, also I really enjoy topics as human psychology, utopic perspectives (it is nice to dream about it! ) and the beautiful things that might wait for us to discover in the far and deep universe, or even in the deep unexplored seas and jungles of Earth!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
As I'm coursing a Bachelor degree in Physics, I got the opportunity to participate in academic activities abroad. So, I wanted to participate in this amazing and interesting community. If you like to share knowledge, we are on the same side!

Music, Movies, and Books
I love classic rock (from the 60s to 90s), especially Grunge. But also enjoy listening to Andean music (it is in my veins!)
I lived in a cinephile family so I really enjoy watching movies and critiquing the interesting perspectives that the directors try to share with the public. Among my favorite ones are: "12 angry men"(1957), "The Pianist"(2002), "Pink Floyd: The Wall"(1982), "Batman: The dark knight"(2008), and "La Planète Sauvage"(1973).
I really enjoy the psychological dramas, especially the Russian novelists as Dostoyevski, Tolstoi, Solzhenitsyn. Also, the scientific divulgation literature passionates me, among my favorite authors (it is hard to list so many books) are Carl Sagan (THE BEST!), Richard Dawkins, Leonard Suskind and Steven Hawking.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Camping on the Andes is among the best adventures I ever had: especially watching the Geminids meteor shower from the Cubilche top of the mountain on Ecuador.
Teach, Learn, Share
Always spreading knowledge is my moral obligation. I love to do science divulgation on rural schools on my vacations and spare time.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Interesting perspectives on the little things that we do not take on account on our daily living, nice and really interesting science facts, cheerful manners and disposition to adventure!
