About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel, learn, meet people, experience music, visit new places, have fun...

ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm a highly enthusiastic person about life in general, I always try to take the best out of everything. Most of the time you'll see me smiling My greatest passions are music, films and mathematics. Currently, I'm doing a PhD in applied mathematics to medicine specifically to understand tumor evolution. I currently live in Germany but my project involves moving between Spain-UK and Germany. This is my third year in Europe and I love it! There are still so many places I want to discover and I want to travel as much as possible (or as much as my student's budget allows it)

PHILOSOPHY

There is only one life, we must enjoy it and get all the juice we can from it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm really glad to be part of it. Nowadays, it is strange to trust a total stranger and this project challenges this belief and creates a trusting community around the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

With some friends, we went camping near the Mexican National Astronomical Observatory and we were surrounded by an incredible sky where we could see the spiral arms of the milky way galaxy and every minute there was a shooting star.. amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I know how to play piano and tennis. I enjoy cooking, I'm not extraordinary but there are some mexican dishes (really simple) that taste amazing and I can share my recipe :)
