Hello

It is always a pleasure to know people.
About me... I am a biologist and a musician. I grew up in Patagonia, and I moved some Km to the north, to study Biology. I lived +10 years in Mendoza, between the mountains and the desert (the wonderful monte desert!).
During my PhD I studied how plants detect and interpret different colors (a kind of "plant vision system"). Later I moved long Kms to the north again, to the El Impenetrable and Ibera National Parks, where I live now, constantly moving from one to the other. I work in nature conservation, doing field work with jaguars, pumas, tapirs, anteaters, deers, tortoises, foxes and grass.
As a musician I compose and play progressive rock music, and also folk music from Argentina, among other styles.
I also like skiing, motorbiking, hiking and climbing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet friends and help as much as I can to anyone who is travelling. I also want to travel and meet some people wherever I go.
