About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To study my PhD and discover the wonders of Finland.

ABOUT ME

I finished my master (Environmental Engineering) at the Technische Universität Hamburg-Harburg. I made a stay in Denmark and Portugal. After working at the Embassy of Austria in Mexico, I started my PhD in April in Finnland on Biorefineries.
Optimistic, black-humorish, passionate, Leo.
I studied in Mexico City Chemical Engineering at the best and most important university there: UNAM.I like going out for a cup of coffee, going to the movies or spending an evening reading a good book with a glass of wine... like an old champ. I like to hang out with friends. I love eating, I like all kinds of cheeses with wine. I like beer... a lot.

Always happy to make new pals.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything will be ok in the end.
if it's not ok,
it's not the end.

-----------

Let the right one in
Let the old dreams die
Let the wrong ones go
They cannot do
What you want them to do
-------Morrisey - Let the right one slip in

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting people from any part of the world. I have hosted and I have stayed at couchsurfers. Unfortunately at the moment I live at the Student dorm but soon I will get my own flat.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far so... super good!

Interests

I'm not very good at promotional self-description, but I like: jogging, whodunit plot-driven novels, sleeping and other forms of idleness, travel. Movies, music, chemistry, beer and wine (I think I have said that already...), fruits and vegetables, environment! I collect sugar bags from coffee shops/restaurants/your granny's/etc... :-) I know.. it's a little bit strange, but that's my guilty pleasure.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I loved going to the Niagara falls when I was in Junior High School. It was overwhelming seeing how nature has so much power.
